Quick enquiry — Berlin
Professional exterminator in Berlin for all common pest infestations. Fast, discreet, certified. Pest control near me — we cover all Berlin districts.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
