How do I deep clean a Nairobi home after pest control treatment?
A comprehensive clean after pest control treatment in Nairobi ensures chemical residue is removed, dead insects are cleared, and your home is safe and hygienic for reoccupation.
Timeline: When to Clean After Treatment
- Wait for the re-entry period specified by your pest controller (typically 4–8 hours after spraying)
- Ventilate for at least 30 minutes before starting to clean
- Do not clean residual spray treatments from skirting boards and wall bases for 2 weeks — this is the active insecticide barrier that continues working
