Insect Control
CLAWS provides practical insect control support for common infestations affecting homes, apartments, managed buildings, and commercial properties across Dublin, Wicklow and Kildare. Insect issues can range from nuisance activity in kitchens and bathrooms to hygiene-sensitive infestations that need a clearer treatment and prevention plan.
Our inspection-led approach helps identify the signs of activity, likely harbourage areas, entry routes, moisture or sanitation factors, and site conditions that may be supporting continued insect pressure. The goal is not just to respond to what is visible, but to reduce the chance of the problem returning.
Professional Insect Control for Common Infestations
Different insect problems behave very differently. Some are linked to food sources and internal access routes, while others are driven more by moisture, hidden harbourage, soft furnishings, stored goods, or hygiene-sensitive areas. Because of that, proper insect control starts with identifying the type of activity present and understanding the site conditions that may be allowing it to continue.
CLAWS supports a range of common insect-related issues in Dublin, including ants, silverfish, bed bugs, cockroaches, and carpet moth. Each service page below provides more detailed guidance for that specific type of infestation.

Insect activity is often linked to specific conditions within the property. A visible problem in one room may actually be connected to a wider pattern involving hidden access, food residue, moisture, warmth, clutter, structural gaps, or low-disturbance harbourage areas.
- Some insect issues spread quietly before they are fully noticed
- Moisture and humidity can play a major role in repeat activity
- Food handling and sanitation conditions may increase infestation pressure
- Hidden harbourage points can make short-term fixes less effective
- Long-term control usually depends on both treatment and prevention
Residential and Commercial Insect Control
CLAWS supports insect control for a wide range of properties across Dublin, including homes, apartments, rental units, offices, hospitality sites, retail premises, managed buildings, and hygiene-sensitive commercial environments.
Some clients need advice on isolated nuisance activity. Others are dealing with persistent infestations that affect day-to-day use, hygiene, comfort, or professional standards. We focus on practical next-step advice based on the actual property and the insect type involved.
Common Signs That Insect Activity May Need Attention
Visible Insect Presence
Repeated sightings in kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, utility spaces, storage areas, or around skirting and entry points can indicate a developing infestation.
Property Conditions Supporting Activity
Moisture, clutter, food debris, poor sealing, low-disturbance spaces, and hidden voids can all make a property more vulnerable to ongoing insect issues.
Repeat Nuisance Over Time
If the same activity keeps returning after cleaning or temporary action, the underlying source of the infestation may not have been properly addressed.

Insect infestations can look very different from property to property. Some clients report activity in kitchens at night, others notice bites, odours, or repeated movement in dark and humid areas. We focus on identifying the real source of activity before recommending treatment.
