Why act fast

Pests are a real threat to your health and property

Studies have shown that pests — whether crawling, flying or wood-boring — can transmit diseases to humans and pets alike, including allergies. In some cases these infections can be serious.

The risk is even higher for vulnerable, immunocompromised or elderly people, for example in hospitals and care homes. At the first sign of an infestation, act quickly to eliminate pests and stop them spreading — in businesses, restaurants, offices, hotels or homes.

  • Health

    Diseases, allergies, bites and food contamination.

  • Property damage

    Gnawed cables, insulation, timber frames, textiles and food stocks.

  • Reputation & hygiene

    A visible infestation can hurt a shop’s or hotel’s reputation.

Pests we treat

We get rid of all pests

Tailored solutions for every infestation, with professional products and preventive advice. Filter by type:

  • Bed bugs Urgent

    Bed bugs

    Bed bugs bite humans and pets alike. Active at night, they hide in bed bases, mattresses, sofas and other dark corners. They can cause skin lesions, allergies, anxiety and even parasitophobia.

  • Mice, rats & field mice Urgent

    Mice, rats & field mice

    Rodents spoil food stocks and gnaw through insulation, cables and wiring — risking outages and fires — and spread serious diseases (leptospirosis, salmonellosis, murine typhus…).

  • Cockroaches

    Cockroaches

    Cockroaches invade kitchens and homes: contaminated food, allergies, bad smells and disgust. They breed very fast, so acting early is key.

  • Hornets (incl. Asian hornet) Urgent

    Hornets (incl. Asian hornet)

    An invasive species, dangerous to humans and bees. Their venom is similar to that of wasps and bees. Never try to remove a nest yourself.

  • Wasps & wasp nests Urgent

    Wasps & wasp nests

    Common insects that turn aggressive when they feel threatened and inflict painful stings. We remove nests safely.

  • Ants & ant nests

    Ants & ant nests

    A nuisance in kitchens and homes; in hospitals, care homes and the food industry they can also carry pathogens.

  • Termites Urgent

    Termites

    Wood-boring insects often detected late, they cause major damage to timber and furniture and can weaken a building. They can also trigger allergies and asthma.

  • Fleas and scabies

    Fleas and scabies

    Fleas bite and cause skin allergies in cats and dogs; on humans, bites in lines or clusters cause intense itching. Scabies, caused by a microscopic mite (Sarcoptes), spreads through contact: treating linen, bedding and textiles complements the medical treatment.

  • Mosquitoes (incl. tiger mosquito)

    Mosquitoes (incl. tiger mosquito)

    Vectors of diseases such as dengue, Zika and chikungunya. The tiger mosquito, an invasive species from South-East Asia, has spread worldwide within a few decades.

  • Flies

    Flies

    Like mosquitoes, flies carry pathogens and can transmit serious diseases, on top of the feeling of uncleanliness they bring.

  • Dust mites

    Dust mites

    Responsible for respiratory problems and unpleasant symptoms: sneezing, red watery eyes, irritated throat and nose…

  • Clothes & pantry moths

    Clothes & pantry moths

    They thrive in dark, warm, enclosed spaces (cellars, attics) and leave holes in woollens, rugs and furs, or contaminate your food.

  • Spiders

    Spiders

    Useful against flies and mosquitoes, but their bites can cause allergies and their presence triggers arachnophobia in some people.

  • Silverfish

    Silverfish

    They feed on sugars, starch and paper, damaging books and wallpaper. Their presence often signals excessive humidity.

  • Crickets

    Crickets

    Males produce a high-pitched chirp by rubbing their wings (stridulation) — quickly unbearable once they settle in a home.

  • Processionary caterpillars

    Processionary caterpillars

    Their hairs release a toxin (thaumetopoein) that causes stinging rashes and painful skin reactions in humans and animals.

  • Stone martens

    Stone martens

    They damage wiring, roofs and insulation in your home, as well as hoses and cables under car bonnets.

Wood treatment

Protect your timber

Wood treatment effectively protects against the giant woodwasp, Callidium beetles, woodworm, house longhorn beetles, powderpost beetles and fungi that damage the structure of your frames, floors and furniture.

With the OPer-B licence recognised by the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH), we use specialised products (insecticides and fungicides) to eliminate pests and prevent them from returning, following a three-step process: drilling, high-pressure injection and spraying.

OPer-B

A 3-step process

  1. 01
    DrillingAccess to the core of the infested timber.
  2. 02
    High-pressure injectionThe product penetrates deep into the tunnels.
  3. 03
    SprayingSurface protection against new attacks.
  • Brown powderpost beetle, a wood-boring insect

    Brown powderpost beetle

    It attacks the starch-rich sapwood of hardwoods (oak, ash, parquet, plywood). Typical sign: very fine, flour-like dust.

  • Deathwatch beetle, a pest of oak timbers

    Deathwatch beetle

    It favours old oak roof timbers that are damp or already decayed by fungi. Its larvae bore tunnels there for several years.

  • Common furniture beetles on wood

    Common furniture beetle

    The classic “woodworm” of furniture, floors and roof timbers: small round holes of 1–2 mm with little piles of dust.

  • Yellow and black wasp beetle on bark

    Wasp beetle

    A yellow-striped longhorn that mimics a wasp. Its larvae develop in hardwood, especially stored firewood.

  • Sawyer beetle with long antennae

    Sawyer beetle

    A large longhorn with very long antennae: it colonises weakened or freshly felled conifers and timber with bark.

  • Longhorn beetle with long antennae

    Longhorn beetles

    A family of long-antennae beetles, including the house longhorn. Their larvae bore wide tunnels that weaken timber.

  • European spruce bark beetle on bark

    European spruce bark beetle

    A spruce bark beetle that carves characteristic galleries under the bark. Watch out for timber stored with its bark on.

  • House longhorn beetle on wood

    House longhorn beetle

    Its larvae bore tunnels in dry wood and weaken the structure of roof frames.

  • Callidium beetle on bark

    Callidium beetle

    A pest of frames and beams; its attacks can cause structural damage.

  • Giant woodwasp

    Giant woodwasp

    It lays eggs under conifer bark and can cause significant damage to timber.

  • Timber damaged by wood-boring insects

    Damaged timber

    Moisture and wood-boring insects weaken timber: early diagnosis avoids heavy repairs.
