How Much Does a Pest Control Cost in Spain?

Yes, the warm Mediterranean climate suits cockroaches. They're especially active in summer. Regular preventive treatment (3-4 times yearly) is common for ground floor properties. Don't be embarrassed - it's normal here regardless of cleanliness.

Signs include hollow-sounding wood, mud tubes on walls, discarded wings near windows, and frass (termite droppings). Spanish homes with wooden beams are particularly vulnerable. Annual inspections cost €120-240 and are recommended for older properties.

Modern treatments are generally pet-safe once dry (usually 2-4 hours). Gel baits and traps are safer around pets than sprays. Always inform your technician about pets - they can use pet-friendly products and advise on any precautions.
