Top 8 Pests Removed in Nairobi County, July 2025
1. Bed Bugs
Bed bugs remain a persistent problem in Nairobi County, thriving in the warm, humid climate. In July 2025, Bestcare Pest Control handled numerous cases, particularly in residential areas like Westlands and Kilimani. These blood-sucking insects hide in mattresses, furniture, and cracks, causing sleepless nights and itchy bites. Our approach involves a thorough inspection to assess infestation levels, followed by eco-friendly fumigation using heat treatments and residual sprays. A single session typically eradicates 95% of bed bugs, with follow-up visits ensuring complete elimination. Clients in apartments reported immediate relief after our targeted treatments, which prioritize safety for families and pets. Preventive measures, such as regular mattress cleaning and sealing entry points, were advised to avoid re-infestation.
2. Cockroaches
Cockroaches are a common nuisance in Nairobi’s urban settings, especially in Eastlands and the CBD, where food sources are abundant. In July 2025, we addressed infestations in homes, restaurants, and offices. These pests spread bacteria and contaminate surfaces, posing health risks. Our cockroach control services begin with identifying species—mostly German and American cockroaches—and their hiding spots in kitchens and drains. We use gel baits, insect growth regulators, and eco-friendly sprays to disrupt their breeding cycles. In one case, a restaurant in Nairobi’s Industrial Area saw a 90% reduction in cockroach activity within 24 hours after treatment. Regular sanitation and sealing gaps were recommended to prevent recurrence.
3. Termites
Termites caused significant damage in Nairobi County in July 2025, particularly in suburban areas like Karen and Lang’ata, where wooden structures are common. These pests can destroy furniture, walls, and foundations if untreated. Bestcare Pest Control employed advanced detection tools, including moisture meters and thermal imaging, to locate termite colonies. Our treatments combine liquid termiticides and baiting systems to eliminate colonies and protect properties long-term. A client in Runda reported no further termite activity after our intervention, which included treating subfloors and wooden frames. Regular inspections and soil treatments around properties were advised to prevent future infestations.
4. Rodents
Rats and mice were a major concern in Nairobi’s commercial and residential spaces in July 2025. These rodents chew through wires, furniture, and food supplies, with notable cases in warehouses along Mombasa Road. Our rodent control strategy includes trapping, baiting with eco-friendly rodenticides, and sealing entry points like vents and gaps. In one instance, a school in Embakasi was cleared of a rat infestation within 48 hours using our integrated approach. We emphasized proper waste management and structural maintenance to deter rodents. Follow-up visits confirmed sustained results, with clients reporting improved hygiene and safety.
5. Mosquitoes
Nairobi’s rainy season remnants in July 2025 fueled mosquito populations, increasing risks of malaria and dengue in areas like Kasarani and Roysambu. Bestcare Pest Control tackled these pests with fogging and larvicide applications in breeding sites like stagnant water pools. Our treatments use WHO-approved insecticides safe for humans and pets. A residential estate in Kahawa benefited from our mosquito control program, which reduced bites by 85% within days. We advised clients to eliminate standing water and use treated nets for long-term prevention. Community-wide fogging in public spaces also helped curb mosquito numbers.
6. Ants
Ants, particularly black and sugar ants, invaded Nairobi homes and offices in July 2025, drawn to food residues in kitchens and pantries. Infestations were reported in Lavington and Ngong Road. Our ant control services involve identifying trails and nests, followed by targeted baiting and barrier sprays. Eco-friendly gels were applied in a Westlands apartment block, eliminating ant colonies within three days. We recommended proper food storage and regular cleaning to prevent re-infestations. Our approach ensures minimal disruption, with treatments tailored to specific ant species for maximum effectiveness.
7. Fleas
Fleas were a growing issue in Nairobi County in July 2025, especially in homes with pets in areas like Kileleshwa and Parklands. These pests cause discomfort and can transmit diseases. Bestcare Pest Control used a combination of residual sprays and insect Ascent®

Bestcare Pest Control used a combination of residual sprays and insect growth regulators to target fleas at all life stages. A pet-friendly treatment in a Kileleshwa household eliminated fleas within two days, with no harm to dogs or cats. We advised regular pet grooming and vacuuming to prevent re-infestation. Our eco-friendly products ensured safety for families and animals, with follow-up inspections confirming long-term results.
8. Snakes
Snake sightings increased in Nairobi County in July 2025, particularly in rural and peri-urban areas like Kitengela and Athi River. Puff adders and other venomous species posed risks to residents and livestock. Bestcare Pest Control collaborated with snake experts for safe removal and relocation. In one case, a puff adder was removed from a Kitengela farm within hours of the call, ensuring safety for the family. We used humane trapping methods and educated clients on snake-proofing properties by clearing vegetation and sealing gaps. While snakes play a vital role in controlling pests, their presence in homes requires professional intervention to prevent bites, which can lead to severe health issues.
