Pest control in Āgenskalns

Timber housing and what it means for treatment

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 Āgenskalns.

• Historic timber housing. Timber structures, deep cavities inside partition walls and lofts give hiding places that simply do not exist in a standard block. Getting to them takes time.
• Older masonry apartment buildings. In older masonry buildings the services are more complicated than in a system-built block.
• Cafes and small retail. Cafes and shops in the middle of the neighbourhood are treated after closing.
• Health and education premises. In these buildings the method and the timing are agreed in advance.

What people call us out for in Agenskalns

The historic housing gives Agenskalns a pest profile distinct from the estate districts:

• Bedbugs — In historic housing there are more hiding places, so the work has to be more thorough.
• Cockroaches — In apartment buildings and catering premises.
• Woodworm — In timber structures and lofts.
• Silverfish — In the damp basements of older buildings.

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.
