Pest control in Old Town (Vecrīga)

Tourism and very old buildings

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 Old Town (Vecrīga).

• Very old buildings. Thick masonry walls, timber floors and deep cavities: many hiding places and awkward access.
• Hotels and guest accommodation. High international turnover is the main route for bedbugs, and room downtime is the critical number.
• Restaurants and bars. A dense concentration of food premises, all treated after closing.
• Narrow streets and restricted access. Vehicle and loading restrictions genuinely affect how the work is planned.

What we deal with most often in the Old Town

Tourism and very old fabric between them set the Old Town pest profile:

• Bedbugs — In hospitality premises this is the main reputational risk; heat treatment returns the room to service faster.
• Cockroaches — In restaurant and bar kitchens.
• Gnats — In bar areas, around sinks and bins.
• Flies — In catering premises, especially in summer.

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.
