Pest Control Services in Nigeria

Pest control in Nigeria is dominated by a few persistent problems: cockroaches, rodents, termites, bedbugs and mosquitoes, with the mix varying by building age, drainage and season.

Termite treatment is the most consequential. Subterranean termites damage roofing timber, door frames and fitted furniture, and by the time the damage is visible it is usually extensive. Treatment involves soil barriers and direct treatment of affected timber, and is worth taking seriously in older buildings and anywhere with wood in contact with the ground.

General fumigation for cockroaches and crawling insects is the most commonly requested service, usually as a one-off after moving into a property or on a recurring schedule for restaurants, shops and offices. Bedbug treatment almost always requires a follow-up visit, and any provider who promises a single-visit eradication should be questioned. Rodent control combines baiting with proofing — sealing the entry points, without which the problem returns.

Ask what chemicals are being used, how long the property must be vacated, and whether the price includes a follow-up. Safety around children, pregnant women, pets and food preparation areas should be discussed before treatment, not after. Providers listed here submitted their own details.
