Pest Control Services in Ireland

Pest control in Ireland is a diagnosis-first trade. Whether it is wasps in a roof space in Cork, rats in a shed in Roscommon, or bed bugs in a Dublin apartment, the correct treatment depends on the species, the extent of the infestation, and the access available. That is why a callout is usually the first step: the technician inspects, identifies the pest, and only then can say what the job involves. On ShamFix, you describe what you have seen and where, note the county, and set out the access and any children or pets in the property. Your task stays open for 30 days. Providers registered in this category can see it. You can also browse provider profiles by county and contact them directly to arrange a visit. Ask which professional body this Pest control provider is a member of. Posting a task on ShamFix costs nothing today.

Pest control questions people ask

How do I know if I have a wasp nest or just a few wasps?

A steady stream of wasps entering and leaving one point, often a roof edge or wall vent, usually means a nest. A few wasps in late summer may be foraging. Watch from a safe distance for ten minutes. If you see regular traffic, do not seal the entrance. Call a professional who can treat the nest safely.

What should I do before a pest control visit for rodents?

Clear access to the areas you think rodents are using, such as under sinks, behind appliances, and along skirting. Remove food sources and secure bins. Do not block suspected entry points, as the technician needs to see them. Note any droppings, gnaw marks, or sounds you have heard, and tell the provider when they arrive.

Can bed bugs be treated in one visit?

Often no. Bed bugs hide in seams, frames, and sockets, so a single treatment may not reach all stages. Many providers recommend a follow-up visit after a set interval, usually one to three weeks. Ask what preparation you need to do, such as washing bedding and clearing clutter, and whether a second visit is included in the price.

Is it safe to stay in the house during a pest treatment?

It depends on the treatment. Some sprays and dusts require you to leave for a few hours, while bait stations for rodents may allow you to stay. Ask the provider before the visit. They should tell you how long to stay out, how to ventilate afterwards, and how to protect pets, children, and food areas.

What if the pest problem comes back after treatment?

Ask about the guarantee before work starts. Many providers offer a warranty period on labour, and sometimes on materials, during which they will return if the pest reappears. The length and terms vary. Get the guarantee in writing, including what you must do to keep it valid, such as not disturbing bait stations.

How much does a pest control call-out cost in Ireland?

Call-out fees vary by county and provider, and the total depends on the treatment needed. You will not know the full price until the inspection. Ask whether the call-out fee comes off the treatment if you proceed, and whether materials and follow-up visits are extra. Get a written quote before work begins.
