Contact GRMC Pest Control in Lebanon

What you are seeing, where you are, and what kind of property it is. A useful call covers the pest, the room or floor it shows up in, how long it has been happening, whether the property is a flat, a villa, an office, a shop or a kitchen, whether neighbours in the same building have the same problem, and whether anyone in the household is pregnant, has a respiratory condition, or keeps pets or fish. If you run a food business, mention it at the start, because the visit is then planned around the record you are left with as well as around clearing the problem.

Yes, when the right product is used at the right dose in the right place and you follow the instructions the technician leaves with you. In kitchens we bait rather than spray wherever the pest allows it, which keeps the product in a gel dot inside a cupboard hinge instead of across the surfaces your family touches. You are told which rooms to keep children and pets out of, for how long, and what to ventilate afterwards.

A home is never treated with an agricultural fumigant. The Ministry of Public Health has banned aluminium and zinc phosphide for pest control in residential and populated areas nationwide. If anyone offers to treat your flat with a phosphide tablet, refuse and call somebody else.

Household pest control in Lebanon is licensed by the Ministry of Public Health under Decree 5100 of 12 April 1982, while agricultural pesticides sit under the Ministry of Agriculture, and the two are not interchangeable. There is no public register a customer can search, so asking a company which ministry licensed it and asking to see the certificate is a fair question to put to anyone you let into your home.

Clear access to the places the pest actually uses, and leave the rest alone. For a kitchen job that means emptying the cupboard under the sink and the units either side of the cooker, putting food, plates and children's things away in sealed containers or in another room, and not scrubbing the area with bleach or spraying a supermarket insecticide in the days before the visit, since both of those push cockroaches deeper into the wall voids and leave a residue that keeps them off the bait. For a bed bug visit, strip the beds but keep the bedding in the room inside a sealed bag rather than carrying it through the flat. Cover any aquarium and switch its pump off, and decide in advance where the pets will be while the work is done.

Usually not, though you will be asked to stay out of the rooms being treated until the product has dried. Baiting work in a kitchen barely disturbs the household. Where a spray is applied across a room, or where there is an infant, a pregnant woman or someone with asthma in the flat, the technician tells you before starting how long to stay out of that room and which windows to open afterwards. If you would rather be out of the house while the work happens, say so when you book and the visit can be timed around it.

It depends on the property and on the pest, and you will get a realistic idea on the phone once we know both. Inspecting a flat and baiting one kitchen for German cockroaches is a different job from netting a roof against pigeons or working through the risers of a whole building for rodents. The inspection is the part people underestimate, and the time spent finding where the pest is living is what stops you calling us back about the same problem a month later.

For many household jobs yes, and where it is not, the second visit belongs to the treatment rather than signalling that the first one failed. Bed bugs are the clearest case, because eggs already laid are not affected by what reaches the adults, so a follow-up is timed to catch whatever hatches from them. Cockroach baiting and rodent work are judged on what the follow-up finds rather than on what turned up dead on the day. When a second visit is needed you are told at the first one, together with what has to happen in between.
