Rat Control Berlin
From €160 · Rat exterminator Berlin

Berlin has one of Europe's densest rat populations — driven by 175km of canals, WWII underground structures and the dense urban core. Rodent control in Berlin requires professional bait stations, entry-point sealing and follow-up inspection. As a certified rat exterminator in Berlin, we tackle both residential and commercial infestations — basements, courtyards, restaurant kitchens and warehouses.

Bed Bug Treatment Berlin
From €200 · Bed bug exterminator Berlin

Berlin receives 35 million+ tourists per year, with a high density of short-term rentals and Airbnb apartments. This makes bed bug infestations extremely common — especially in Mitte, Prenzlauer Berg and Kreuzberg. As your bed bug exterminator in Berlin, we use professional chemical treatment targeting all life stages, including eggs hidden deep in mattress seams and furniture joints. One treatment is usually sufficient.

Cockroach Exterminator Berlin
From €170 · Cockroach control Berlin

Berlin's dense restaurant and bar scene — especially in Kreuzberg, Neukölln and Mitte — creates significant cockroach pressure. Infestations spread rapidly through drain pipes into adjacent apartments. As a cockroach exterminator in Berlin, we use targeted gel baits and insecticide application in kitchen units, behind appliances and inside drain systems. Cockroach control in Berlin must be fast — one pregnant female can start a colony of thousands within weeks.

Wasp Removal Berlin
From €160 · Wasp nest removal Berlin

Berlin is 37% green space — parks, gardens and allotments are everywhere, making wasp nests a seasonal problem from April to September. Wasp removal in Berlin covers nests in roof spaces, attics, garden sheds, wall cavities and underground. We remove the nest entirely and treat the entry point to prevent re-colonisation. For hornets, a single nest can house 700+ insects — always call a professional pest control company in Berlin.

★ Berlin Pest Facts

Why Berlin Has
a Pest Problem

Berlin is one of Europe's most pest-affected capitals — here is why, and what it means for you as a resident or expat in Berlin.

Rats — 175km of Canals & WWII Infrastructure

Berlin's extensive canal network (175km) and thousands of kilometres of WWII-era underground tunnels and bunkers provide an ideal environment for rats. The Spree and Havel rivers, combined with Berlin's 37% green space coverage, create permanent habitat adjacent to residential areas. Rats can enter buildings through drain pipes as small as 2cm in diameter. In Berlin, every 5th basement has a rat problem at some point — making rodent control in Berlin a year-round demand.

Bed Bugs — 35M+ Tourists & Airbnb Density

Berlin attracted 35M+ visitors in 2023, with one of Europe's highest densities of short-term rental apartments. Bed bugs travel in luggage and clothing, spreading rapidly through high-turnover accommodation. Districts like Mitte, Kreuzberg and Prenzlauer Berg have the highest bed bug exterminator call rates in Berlin. As an expat, you may not recognise the early signs — tiny blood spots on sheets, small brown spots near mattress seams, or itching bites in lines of three.

Cockroaches — Europe's Densest Restaurant Scene

Berlin has over 8,000 restaurants and a thriving bar and food hall culture. Cockroach infestations spread from commercial kitchens through shared drain systems into residential apartments — often in the same building. Kreuzberg, Neukölln and Mitte are the most affected districts. Cockroach control in Berlin is also legally required for restaurants — landlords must notify the health authority (Gesundheitsamt) of severe infestations.

Wasps — 37% Green Space & Urban Gardens

Berlin's 37% green space — including 900+ parks, 3,000+ Kleingärten (allotment gardens) and extensive tree-lined streets — makes it one of Europe's most wasp-friendly cities. Wasp season in Berlin runs from April to September, with peak activity in July and August. Common nesting sites include attic spaces in Altbau buildings, garden sheds and wall cavities. Professional wasp removal in Berlin is strongly recommended — disturbing a nest without protection can trigger mass stinging.

★ Expat Guide

Your Rights as a Tenant
in Berlin

One of the most common questions from expats in Berlin: who pays for pest control — me or my landlord? Here is what German law says.

In Germany, landlords (Vermieter) are generally responsible for pest control costs under §535 BGB (German Civil Code) — the obligation to provide a habitable property. This typically applies when:

Landlord is responsible if...
  • Pests entered from shared areas (Treppenhaus, Keller)
  • Infestation comes from the building's drainage system
  • Rats or cockroaches spread from neighbouring units
  • The building has structural gaps or defects allowing entry
  • Infestation pre-existed before your tenancy
You may be responsible if...
  • You left food out and attracted pests through your behaviour
  • You ignored early signs and delayed reporting significantly
  • The tenancy agreement explicitly assigns pest control to tenant
  • You brought bed bugs in via travel luggage or used furniture

Important: Always report the infestation to your landlord in writing (email is fine) and keep a record. Take photos. Do not delay — courts can reduce your claim if you waited too long. If your landlord refuses to act, you may be entitled to a rent reduction (Mietminderung) until the problem is resolved.

1
Document Everything
Take photos of droppings, damage or live pests. Note the date you first discovered the problem.
2
Notify Landlord in Writing
Send an email or letter. Set a reasonable deadline (7–14 days) for the landlord to arrange pest control.
3
We Help You Communicate
We can provide a written inspection report in German for your landlord — useful if they are unresponsive or dispute responsibility.

★ Quick Guide

Is It an Emergency?
Act or Wait?

Not every pest sighting requires immediate action — but some do. Here is a quick guide for expats in Berlin who are unsure what to do.

Act Immediately — Call Now
!
Rats in the apartment or kitchen — rats carry Hantavirus and Salmonella. Do not wait. Call a rat exterminator in Berlin today.
!
Cockroaches in the kitchen — one cockroach means a hidden colony. Cockroaches multiply exponentially. Same-day pest control in Berlin is essential.
!
Bed bugs — any confirmed sighting — do not move your mattress or clothing to other rooms. Call a bed bug exterminator in Berlin immediately to prevent spread.
!
Large wasp or hornet nest near entry/exit — any nest close to doors, windows or children's play areas poses serious risk. Professional wasp removal in Berlin is needed.
!
Commercial property — restaurant or food business — a single pest sighting can trigger an inspection by the Gesundheitsamt (health authority). Act within hours.
Can Usually Wait — Book Within a Week
Single wasp flying inside — one wasp inside is normal in summer. Open a window. Only call pest control if you find a nest or if this happens repeatedly.
Ants in the garden or balcony — outdoors ants are common in Berlin's green areas. An inspection within a week is fine unless they are entering the kitchen.
Moths in the wardrobe or pantry — clothing or food moths do not pose a health risk but should be treated within days. Book an appointment, but not an emergency callout.
Mouse droppings only — no live sighting — a scheduled appointment within 2–3 days is appropriate. Seal food in containers in the meantime.
Prevention or routine inspection — moving into a new apartment or managing a rental property? A routine check is a good idea — not urgent, book in advance.

Not sure? Call us — we will tell you honestly whether you need an emergency visit or a scheduled appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions —
Pest Control Berlin

Common questions from expats and international residents about pest control in Berlin.

How much does pest control cost in Berlin?

Pest control in Berlin starts from €160 for rat control, €200 for bed bug treatment, €170 for cockroach extermination, and €160 for wasp nest removal. Emergency night and weekend callouts have a surcharge of €110. All prices are fixed quotes given before treatment — no hidden fees. The initial inspection is always free. If your landlord is responsible, we can provide a written inspection report to support your claim.

How quickly can you respond to a pest emergency in Berlin?

For emergencies, we typically reach most Berlin districts within 1–2 hours. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including public holidays. For non-urgent cases we offer flexible appointments, often on the same or next day. Call us directly at +49 163 4455364 or send a WhatsApp message for the fastest response.

Do I have to pay for pest control, or does my landlord in Germany?

In most cases, your landlord (Vermieter) is legally responsible for pest control costs in Germany under §535 BGB — the obligation to maintain a habitable property. This applies if pests entered from shared areas, drains or neighbouring units. You should report the infestation in writing immediately. We can provide a German-language inspection report to support your landlord claim and help you navigate the process — a service especially useful for expats unfamiliar with German tenancy law.

Are the chemicals used in pest control safe for children and pets?

Yes. All products we use are EU-approved biocides applied by certified professionals according to strict safety protocols. For most treatments, you simply need to leave the area for a few hours while the product dries or settles. We will always give you clear instructions in English before treatment. No products we use pose long-term risk to children, pets or residents when applied correctly.

What should I do before the pest control technician arrives in Berlin?

Preparation depends on the pest type. For rats and mice: do not block entry points yourself — this can trap rodents inside. For bed bugs: do not move mattresses or luggage to other rooms as this spreads the infestation. For cockroaches: note where you see them most (kitchen units, behind appliances, bathroom drains). In all cases: clear access to affected areas and store food in sealed containers. We will give you specific preparation instructions when you book.

Are bed bugs common in Berlin?

Yes. Berlin has one of the highest bed bug infestation rates in Germany. Approximately 37% of all pest control treatments in Berlin involve bed bugs — driven by 35 million+ annual tourists, a high density of short-term rental and Airbnb apartments, and frequent second-hand furniture purchases. Districts most affected include Mitte, Prenzlauer Berg and Kreuzberg. If you suspect bed bugs, call a certified bed bug exterminator Berlin immediately — early treatment prevents rapid spread.

How do I get rid of bed bugs in Berlin?

Professional bed bug removal Berlin by a certified exterminator is the most reliable method. DIY sprays and mattress covers cannot reach eggs hidden deep in furniture joints and wall cavities. Our bed bug treatment Berlin uses professional chemical treatment targeting all life stages. One treatment is usually sufficient. Do not move mattresses or clothing to other rooms before treatment — this spreads the infestation. See our pest control price guide or call us for same-day service.

Do you offer a guarantee on pest control treatments in Berlin?

Yes. We offer a follow-up inspection after all treatments to confirm success. If pests return after our treatment within the agreed guarantee period, we will return and re-treat at no additional cost. The guarantee period varies by pest type — we discuss this with you before starting. Our goal is a permanent solution, not a repeat visit that earns us more revenue.
