Pest Control in Alvalade

About our service in Alvalade

Pest control in Alvalade is almost always a question of the inner courtyard. The neighbourhood was laid out with planted yards between the blocks, and those trees, hedges and beds, now decades old, touch the façades and reach the balconies of the lower floors. Ants climb along branches resting on the wall, rodents move between ground cover and the bin areas, and flying insects find permanent shelter. Treating the inside of a flat without looking at the yard outside the window solves half the problem. We walk the courtyard, mark where the planting meets the building and treat that boundary. The blocks themselves are seventy or eighty years old and keep much of their original plumbing. Soil stacks and service voids connect one flat to the next, and repairs made over the decades have left openings nobody recorded. We inspect those connections before applying any product, especially with cockroaches, since the source is rarely the kitchen where they were seen. When the problem clearly belongs to the building, we say so and suggest talking to the management committee, because one intervention in the common parts settles what twenty separate treatments will not. Alvalade has a settled population, with many long-standing residents and older people living alone. That shapes the method: we explain slowly what is going to be done, avoid applications that force anyone out of the flat for hours, and prefer gel and closed bait stations to broad spraying. We leave a written note of what was applied and where, so a relative who was not there can follow what happened. We arrive in an unmarked van. One last point tends to help people who have lived here for decades: many flats in the neighbourhood still have pantries and enclosed balconies used for old storage, cardboard boxes and clothing put away years ago. That is where clothes moths and woodworm settle without giving any sign, and it is the first area we ask to see.
