Homes in South West Dublin and what that means for pest control
1930s–1950s semi-detached homes in Terenure, Kimmage, Walkinstown and parts of Rathfarnham, big 1970s–1980s estates in Tallaght, Firhouse and Knocklyon, and newer apartments around Citywest.
1930s–1960s homes often have gaps around old pipework and damaged airbricks that let mice in. 1970s–1990s houses commonly get mice through gaps where pipes and cables enter, and rats via damaged drains. Newer homes and apartments can see pests through service risers and shared bin stores, so building-wide treatment is sometimes needed.
What to check before you hire a pest controller
- Ask whether the price includes follow-up visits (most rodent jobs need two or three)
- Ask what products will be used and how they are kept safe from children and pets
- Ask whether entry points will be found and proofed
- For businesses, ask for service reports suitable for food safety inspections
- Check the technician is trained in professional pesticide use

Do you cover Tallaght, Citywest, Firhouse, Knocklyon, Ballyboden, Templeogue, Walkinstown, Kimmage, Rathfarnham and Terenure?
Yes. South West Dublin includes Tallaght, Citywest, Firhouse, Knocklyon, Ballyboden, Templeogue, Walkinstown, Kimmage, Rathfarnham and Terenure. If you are just outside these areas, get in touch anyway.
What pest control issues are common in South West Dublin?
1930s–1960s homes often have gaps around old pipework and damaged airbricks that let mice in. 1970s–1990s houses commonly get mice through gaps where pipes and cables enter, and rats via damaged drains. Newer homes and apartments can see pests through service risers and shared bin stores, so building-wide treatment is sometimes needed.
How quickly can rats or mice breed?
Very quickly. A pair of mice can have dozens of offspring within months, so acting at the first signs saves money.
Is pest control safe with children and pets?
Professional treatments are placed in tamper-resistant stations or areas pets and children can't reach. Tell the technician about pets beforehand.
Why do I hear scratching in the attic at night?
Usually mice or rats, sometimes birds or squirrels. Droppings in the attic will confirm it.
Do I need to leave the house during treatment?
For most treatments, no. For some insect treatments, such as fleas or bed bugs, you may need to be out for a few hours.
