We have been providing fumigation services throughout Nairobi for over 10 years. We provide on-going training to our pest control technicians, enabling them to provide the most efficient fumigation and pest control service whenever you need it.

Fumigation is recognized as an effective means of targeted control of Stored Product Insects such as beetles, weevils, mites and moths.

It can safeguard businesses such as shipping and cargo, manufacturing, warehousing, milling and agriculture.

Cargo fumigation treatments can control infestations of bulk consignments prior to shipment. This ensures that shipments are transported safely and without risk of contamination.

First Class’ Nairobi Fumigation Services

Over the years, fumigation has changed rapidly Nairobi and First Class Cleaning Services is up to date with all procedures and treatments.

Our Solutions

With access to a wide range of fumigation services, we can ensure the most suitable form of treatment for your pest control needs.

Commodity Fumigation in Nairobi

Commodity fumigation in Nairobi is the treatment of a product by a gas, chemical or other process to eliminate the risk of a pest infestation.

The commodity can be by itself (loose or LCL: loose container load), in a container (FCL: full container load), or in a silo.

Silo Fumigation in Nairobi

Silo fumigation a cost-effective method to treat large amounts of grain products, for example cereals, animal feeds or chocolate within its storage vessel (e.g. a silo). It is a viable, alternative service to container fumigation.

The use of First Class Cleaning Services’ silo fumigation service can help your business comply with strict food guidelines.

Key Benefits of Silo Fumigation in Nairobi

Most silo fumigations are done to save time and money due to the fact that large amounts of product can be treated in one hit for a relatively low cost compared to container fumigation.

The quality of stored commodities will not be affected or downgraded. Using silo fumigation means that your final product will not be affected with insect specimens or fragments.

Pressure testing silos in Nairobi

The silo must meet similar protocols as the pressure decay fumigation for the product to be suitable for treatment within it.

A pressure test on a silo does not have to be done every time the silo is used for treatment, but it is recommended that it is inspected every time before use and pressure tested every 6 months or when modifications have been made to ensure efficacy of the fumigation service.

PEST CONTROL PACKAGES IN NAIROBI INCLUDES

BED BUGS CONTROL IN NAIROBI

A bedbug is a wingless, rust-colored insect about the size of an apple seed. Bedbugs are nocturnal parasites, which means they rest during the day and come out to dine on the blood of humans at night.

100% Perfect Eradication Guarantee

Bedbugs are attracted by human body heat and typically favor feasting on our shoulders and arms. During feeding, the bedbug’s proboscis pierces the skin of its victim, injecting bedbug saliva. Bedbugs typically feed for five to ten minutes at a time. As the little critter fills with blood, its colouring changes from light brown to rust–red.

Do You Have Bedbugs in Nairobi?

Bedbugs hide in cracks and crevices. They love to live in bedding and on mattresses, where they have easy access to YOU. Other living areas favored by bedbugs include:

• Between wooden floorboards
• In wall cracks and crevices
• In carpeting
• In the seams and cracks of furniture, particularly bed frames
• Under loose edges of wallpaper
• Behind peeling paint
• Bedbug Bites

Bedbugs are rarely seen in action by their human victims. The first signs of a bedbug infestation are usually bites. Bedbug bites are generally painless, though itchy and annoying. They tend to start as swollen wheals, then fade to red marks and gradually disappear over a few days.

Experts suggest washing bedbug bites with antiseptic soap to avoid infection. The itching can be treated with calamine lotion or anesthetic creams.

Aside from those nasty bites, other signs that bedbugs may have moved in include:

• Tiny bloodstains from crushed bugs on sheets or mattresses
• Dark spots of bug excrement on bedding or walls
• An offensive musty odor when infestations are severe
• Bedbugs often spread by hitching rides on people’s clothing. They jump from host to host when people brush up against each other in crowds.

RAT RODENTS PEST CONTROL IN NAIROBI

How rodent pest control works in Nairobi

Inspection

Our qualified inspector will call at a time to suit you, to carry out a thorough inspection. Years of experience in the field and specialized training have equipped us to know just what to look for. We will then identify the rodent species and size of the infestation, their food and water sources and method of access. All these are essentials that must be known to decide on the best control measures.

We will provide you with a comprehensive obligation free quotation for treatment.

This of course carries the First Class Cleaning Services Warranty – if re-infestation occurs during the warranty period, additional treatment will be provided free of charge.

Sanitation and Cleanliness

Sanitation and hygiene are absolute musts if the control program is to be effective. The elimination of rat harborage locations, food and water sources and the general cleanliness of the area are all essentials. Garbage heaps, old machinery, timber piles, weed growth and general litter should be removed. Garbage must be kept in rat-proof cans with tight-fitting lids and a well-organized and supervised cleaning and maintenance plan must be adhered to. Here again, the inspector can help. We will provide expert advice on the action required to minimize the risk of re-infestation.

Treatment of rat rodents in Nairobi

The suspicious and cunning nature of rodents can result in the treatment being a very specialized process. Most treatment methods involve the laying of special baits depending upon the type, size and food source of the infestation. Other methods such as tracking powders and traps may also be used.

First Class Pest Control has developed a wide variety of bait types, which have all been thoroughly tested in the field and proven successful!. In situations where the rodent is not taking the bait or appears to have a resistance to it, the Biologists and Entomologists from the Company’s Technical Services Department will develop a “tailor-made” treatment method to suit the particular situation.

The safety of humans and pets and the non-contamination of food and other materials is paramount. The control method is always determined with these factors in mind.

Signs of a Rodent Problem

RODENT SIGHTINGS

The most obvious sign that a problem might exist is sightings of a single or multiple rodent.

RAT DROPPINGS

Rodent droppings are dark brown in a tapered, spindle shape – like a grain of rice.

GNAW MARKS

You might notice gnaw marks on wires, cabling or items.

RAT HOLES

Some rats are known for burrow extensive tunnels for shelter, food storage and nesting.

RAT NESTS

Most rodents will shred available materials such as insulation, cardboard and other soft items to make nests.

FOOTPRINTS

Rodents leave foot and tail marks in dusty, less-used areas of buildings.

Interesting rodent facts

• Rodents do not vomit.
• Rat baiting, a popular sport in 19th-century London, pitted a man or a dog against hundreds of rats. Jacko, a 13-pound bull terrier, set the record in 1862 when he killed 100 rats in 5 minutes, 28 seconds.
• Rats do not sweat. They regulate their temperature by constricting or expanding blood vessels in their tails.
• Rats don’t have gallbladders or tonsils, but they do have belly buttons.
• A female rat can mate as many as 500 times with various males during a six-hour period of receptivity—a state she experiences about 15 times per year. Thus a pair of brown rats can produce as many as 2,000 descendants in a year if left to breed unchecked. (A rat matures sexually at age three to four months.) An average rat’s life span is two to three years.
• A rat can tread water for three days and survive being flushed down the toilet. (And it can return to the building via the same route.)
• A Hindu temple dedicated to the rat goddess Karni Mata in Deshnoke, India, houses more than 20,000 rats. Many people travel far to pay respect to the rats, which are believed to be reincarnations of Karni Mata and her clansmen.
• A rat can go longer than a camel without having a drink of water.
• Without companionship rats tend to become lonely and depressed.
• The naked mole rat is unable to feel pain, is the only known thermoconforming mammal, is resistant to cancer, and possesses extraordinary longevity for a rodent.
• Giant rats have been trained to sniff out 14,000 landmines and other unexploded arsenals. The rats, which undergo nine months training, are light enough to not trigger the explosives. They literally work for peanuts!
• African giant pouched rats are trained to detect tuberculosis, which is the world’s second most fatal infectious disease. Although they currently are not an accepted standalone diagnostic tool, one rat can evaluate more samples in 10 minutes than a lab technician can evaluate in 1 day.
• The first living creatures to go into orbit and return safely were 40 mice, two rats, a rabbit, some fruit flies, plants, and 2 dogs.
• Rats ate 10% of Pablo Escobar‘s money per annum, amounting to $2.1 billion

COCKROACH PEST CONTROL IN NAIROBI

Inspection

First Class Cleaning Services qualified inspector will call at a time to suit you, to carry out a thorough inspection. Specialised training and experience in the field means that we know just what to look for. We will be able to identify the cockroach species and the size of the infestation, their food and water sources and, most importantly, exactly where they are hiding and breeding. All these factors are taken into account when we determine what methods and chemicals will be used for control.

We will provide you with a comprehensive obligation free quotation for treatment.

This of course carries the First Class Warranty – if re-infestation occurs during the warranty period, additional treatment will be provided free of charge.

Treatment

The treatment will be carried out by an experienced registered technician. He will selectively apply insecticides, and gel bats to the areas where the cockroaches live and breed.

If required the technician can call on the specialist assistance of the Biologists and Entomologist of the Nairobi Company’s Technical Service Department.

In every case the method used is tailored to the situation. The safety of humans and pets, and the non-contamination of food and other materials is paramount. The control method is always determined with these factors in mind.

Interesting cockroach facts

There are two basic reasons why a cockroach almost always dies on it’s back. Cockroaches have a slightly rounded and greasy back, and a flat body that helps them squeeze and hide in narrow cracks and crevices. Their long legs give them a high center of gravity, meaning they carry most of their weight around their backs. When a cockroach is dying of old age, its high center of gravity pulls its back toward the floor, and its rounded back and weakened muscles prevent it from righting itself, particularly on smooth surfaces. The insecticides we use to kill roaches can have the same effect. Most of these insecticides are neurotoxins – poisons that can trigger tremors and muscle spasms, eventually causing the cockroach to flip on its back. A healthy cockroach can easily right itself, but the tremors, lack of muscle coordination and, again, the rounded back and high center of gravity cause the intoxicated cockroach to get stuck that way.

The brains of cockroaches carry some serious antibiotics, strong enough to slaughter bacteria that have evolved resistance to the hospital antibiotics we humans use.

Cockroaches are so repulsed by humans that if they’re touched by a human, not only do they run away, but they wash themselves.

Signs of a Termite Problem in Nairobi

Appearance of damaged wood

Since subterranean termites build their nests underground, damaged wood usually has an accumulation of soil or mud within the tunnels of the wood they are eating. Since subterranean termites only eat the softwood, damaged wood appears to be layered, the result of the workers not eating the hardwood portion. In addition, subterranean termites feed “with the grain” rather than across the grain, as do dry wood termites.

Interesting termite facts

• Certain pens smell like termite pheromones. If you draw with these pens near termites, the termites will follow the drawn lines.
• In the Marvel Universe Groot was originally an alien invader, ‘The Monarch of Planet X’, who was defeated by termites.
• There is a mid-rise shopping center in Zimbabwe which uses an air conditioning system inspired by African termite hills. It is ventilated and cooled by natural means, and uses less than 10% of the energy of a conventional building its size.
• Lace monitors dig into a termite mound to lay their eggs, the termites then reseal the mound keeping the eggs at a constant temperature. The lizard returns 9 months later to dig the eggs out so they can hatch.
• The U.S. Department of Energy is researching ways to replace fossil fuels with renewable sources of cleaner energy, and termites are considered a possible way to reach this goal through metagenomics. Termites produce up to two liters of hydrogen from digesting a single sheet of paper, making them one of the planet’s most efficient bioreactors.
• When attacked by a horde of ants, a group of termites forms a circle with their heads facing outward, in effect collectively protecting their soft bodies with their rock hard heads. Letting the ants surround them completely, they stand their ground as brothers and sisters and fight for dear survival.

FLY PEST CONTROL IN NAIROBI

How fly pest control works

Effective long-term fly control requires an integrated approach that includes identifying high-risk areas where flies are likely to breed and be attracted to, locating these breeding sites and access points, and then implementing the correct environmental, procedural, mechanical, and chemical tactics.

There are the four basic components of a fly management process that should be combined in a custom-tailored program for effective fly control to be maintained. These are namely inspection & identification, recommended procedure, communication and follow up treatments

Inspection & identification

The first step in any fly management process is the inspection. One needs to understand what environment one is encountering the fly infestation, one needs to find the source of where the flies are breeding, establish the reason why there is a fly problem there and how best to deal with it, is the site following effective housekeeping practises or does it require attention to its housekeeping, are good hygiene practises being followed, and lastly to identify what type of fly is breeding or infesting the area at hand so the correct control measures can be determined. Factors such as temperature, moisture, airflow, odours, lighting, and food sources play a role in determining correct control methods.

Recommended procedures

By having a two angled approach in dealing with a fly problem is key. One needs effective sanitation practises followed and maintained, along with an effective fly control programme. The basic principal to obtain long-term control of flies in and around the effected site is that effective sanitation and exclusion methods are essential and that chemical fly control is a supplement to these measures, and they both work hand in hand.

Communication

Communication between the customer and First Class Cleaning Services is vital for any form of pest management program to succeed.

You as the customer actually have a vital role in the fly management process, specifically in the areas of sanitation, building maintenance, and employee practices modification. If these factors are not addressed the program will not work effectively. As a pest professional, First Class will implement measures as per our recommendations from the start, which would be physical measures and chemical measures, if agreed to by the client, such as electronic fly units for the fly management programme to demonstrate and show you the catch rate on the device/s glue boards.

Before beginning any fly control program you need to put in writing exactly what the program will entail, what flies will be targeted, and what is expected of the customer. Additionally, if certain services are to be sold separately, such as drain cleaning, this should be clearly communicated in the contract. If equipment such as insect light traps is to be installed it should be clear to the customer if they are for sale, lease or rent. It should also be clearly stated in the contract that the customer must comply with the sanitation and building maintenance recommendations made as part of the prescription for his facility. If these are not carried out the program will be far less effective and may not work at all.

We can’t emphasise enough how vital customer co-operation and communication is, due to the health risks associated with flies. Ongoing cooperation is required from both parties for the fly programme to succeed.

Follow-up treatments

Fly control is not a one-off type of treatment, it is indeed an ongoing process to maintain premises clean and to also prevent and control flies that do enter. The frequency of the fly control visits can vary depending on the industry or environment that needs control- it can vary from twice a week to weekly, bi-weekly, monthly or six weekly.

Our technicians are trained to provide clients with the necessary feedback and recommendations along the way, along with an experienced management and operational department that can help in every situation.

ANT PEST CONTROL IN NAIROBI

Our inspector/ technician will undertake a thorough inspection of the property during his routine service call to determine what control measures would be put in place that will control the ant infestation. The treatment would entail offering regular follow up services to the garden areas- which includes either a spray insecticide application to the garden, all lawn areas, flower beds and nests within the paved areas. Alternative application methods include a granular based application to high activity areas within the garden, along with a gel application in or around one’s facility. These treatments are guaranteed between services, i.e. if there is re infestation between routine services, we would return at no extra charge to re treat all infested areas.

Nest holes will also be injected using this pesticide under high pressure. Due to the rapid breeding and movement of black ants, it is recommended that if one lives in a complex that the entire complex be treated simultaneously to avoid any possible cross infestation from occurring within the complex. It is essential that all residents participate and have their respective units treated when the service is due. This further will prevent black ants from cross infesting their units.

A gel application can also be used in highly infested areas or sensitive areas where spray applications cannot be undertaken. This works by way of the ants being attracted to the gel by the incorporated attractant within the gel, the ants then feed on this and further take the gel back to their nests.

All our chemicals are approved by the PCPB and are applied by our service men that are registered with PEMAK.
