Pest control in Mārupe
Marupe puts two very different worlds side by side: new detached and terraced housing, and the logistics, warehouse and office sites near the airport. In pest control they need completely different methods, and we drive out to both from Riga.

Two very different worlds in one municipality
What matters in pest control is not only the species but the building it is in. Below are the conditions that genuinely change the plan in Mārupe.
- New detached housing. In new houses insects almost always come from outside: ants from a nest in the garden, wasps under the roof, earwigs from leaf litter. Treatment that stops at the front door is unfinished.
- Logistics and warehouse zone. In the warehouses near the airport, insects arrive with international freight and pallets. Large volumes suit ULV fogging.
- Transition to rural parish land. The built-up area thins out into villages, so the same municipality can mean very different conditions.
- Drainage ditches and low-lying ground. Wetter zones mean more mosquitoes on the plot and more damp-loving insects in the building.
What we meet most often in Marupe
New housing and airport-side logistics between them set the Marupe pest profile:
- Ants — In the new housing: nests under decking, paving and close to foundations.
- Wasps — Under roof edges and in lofts.
- Pantry moths — In logistics premises and warehouses.
- Mosquitoes — Near drainage ditches and on lower-lying plots.
We treat all 18 pests regardless of location — the full list is in the pests section. If you do not know the species, that is not a problem: choose the relevant option in the form and describe what you see.
