Pest problems in Nairobi rarely announce themselves clearly. A single cockroach at night, a few unexplained bites, or a scratching sound in the ceiling is often the first sign of something that has already been building for weeks. Dense apartment living, shared compounds and long rainy seasons all make it easier for bedbugs, cockroaches, termites and rodents to establish themselves indoors, and harder to fully clear without a proper treatment plan.
Nexora provides pest control across Nairobi, Kiambu and Thika, with pricing confirmed before any work begins and eco friendly products used on every job. Below is a breakdown of the pests we treat most often, what a booking actually involves, and what to look out for before the problem gets worse.
What we treat, and how to spot it early
Bedbugs
Small reddish bites that appear overnight in a line or cluster, tiny dark spots on mattress seams, and a faint sweet odor in the room are the usual early signs. Bedbug treatment typically needs a follow up visit two to three weeks after the first, since eggs that survive the initial round can hatch afterward.
Cockroaches
Cockroaches favor kitchens, drains and areas near water, and tend to be most active at night. A treatment plan usually combines gel baiting with targeted spraying in cracks and under appliances, since visible spraying alone rarely reaches where the colony is actually hiding.
Termites
Termites are often noticed only once damage has already been done to skirting boards, door frames or furniture, since the colony itself stays hidden. Treatment focuses on the colony and the entry points into the structure, not just the visible damage, to stop the problem from returning.
Rodents
Droppings near cupboards, gnawed packaging and scratching sounds in the ceiling at night are the clearest signs. Rodent control combines sealing entry points with targeted baiting and trapping, since baiting alone without closing off access points tends to bring the problem back within weeks.
Pest control and cleaning, together
A bedbug or cockroach problem often comes with mattresses, sofas or carpets that need deep cleaning too, and Nexora can handle both in the same visit. See why Nexora leads Nairobi's cleaning market or read our bedbug control service for a closer look at pricing.
See full service listHow a pest control booking works
Here is what happens from the first call to a finished treatment.
- 1
Describe the problem
Tell the team what pest you are seeing, where in the home or office, and how long it has been going on. This helps decide which treatment approach fits the job.
- 2
Inspection and confirmed price
A technician inspects the affected area, identifies entry points or hiding spots, and confirms a price before any treatment begins.
- 3
Treatment day
The team treats the affected areas using eco friendly products suited to the specific pest, with clear guidance on ventilation, drying time and anything you should avoid touching in the following hours.
- 4
Follow up where needed
Bedbug and termite jobs typically include a follow up visit two to three weeks later to catch anything that survived the first treatment, at no extra surprise cost.
Areas we serve
Nexora covers Nairobi, Kiambu and Thika, with regular pest control bookings in neighborhoods such as:
If your area is not listed, get in touch anyway. Coverage is expanding, and many bookings outside the core zones are still possible depending on the day and the size of the job.
Why a cheap, one off spray rarely fixes the problem
A common mistake is booking the cheapest available spray and expecting it to solve an infestation in a single visit. Bedbugs and termites in particular have life cycles that survive a first treatment, which is why a proper plan includes a follow up visit rather than a single spray and an invoice. Rodent problems behave the same way: baiting without sealing entry points usually means the same droppings show up again within a few weeks. Quality pest control is less about the strongest chemical and more about a plan that accounts for how the specific pest actually behaves.
Safe around children, pets and staff
Every pest treatment uses eco friendly products, whether the job is a family home with young children, an office with staff present during the day, or a compound with pets moving freely between units. The technician will always confirm on the day whether you need to stay out of a treated room for a period, and for how long, so there is no guesswork about when it is safe to go back in.

How do I know if I have a pest problem and not just a one off sighting?
Repeated sightings at the same time of day, small dark droppings near skirting boards or cupboards, unexplained bites overnight, and damaged wood or packaging are all signs worth booking an inspection for rather than waiting to see if the problem goes away on its own.

How long does a treatment take to work?
Most cockroach and ant treatments show a visible drop in activity within a few days, while bedbug and termite treatments often need a follow up visit two to three weeks later to catch anything that survived the first round.
