About Spain Pest Guide
Spain Pest Guide is an independent pest control resource built specifically for English-speaking expats, property owners, and holiday home managers across all 16 regions of Spain – from Andalucia and the Costa Blanca to Catalonia, the Balearics, the Canary Islands, and beyond.
We started Spain Pest Guide because we experienced the same thing you're going through. Moving to Spain is an incredible experience – until the first cockroach appears in your kitchen at 2am. Suddenly you're searching in English for Spanish pest control advice, finding outdated forums or Google-translated product labels.
Our Mission
We provide clear, accurate, and actionable pest control guidance written in plain English. Every recommendation is based on real-world testing in Spanish homes, verified against data from ANECPLA (Spain's National Environmental Health Association), and informed by conversations with local pest control professionals.
How We Work
Spain Pest Guide is an independent resource. We are not affiliated with any pest control company. Our product recommendations are based on genuine testing and research. Some links on this site are affiliate links – this means we may earn a small commission if you purchase a product through our link, at no extra cost to you. This is how we keep the site free.
Who We Help
Whether you've just arrived in Málaga, own a rental property on the Costa Blanca, are dealing with a recurring cockroach problem in your Barcelona flat, or managing a holiday home in the Canary Islands – our guides are written for you. We cover 89 cities across Spain. Pest control advice here is often only available in Spanish, aimed at professionals, or simply wrong for residential situations. We fix that.
Connecting You With Professionals
In addition to DIY guidance, we help connect homeowners with vetted, English-speaking pest control professionals in their area. When you submit your contact details through any of our forms – including your email address, phone number, city, property type, and pest details – we may share this information with a trusted local pest control company so they can reach out to you directly with a quote or consultation.
We only work with licensed professionals who are experienced in residential pest control and can communicate in English. Your information is never sold to third parties for marketing purposes – it is used solely to match you with a relevant pest control provider in your region.
If you prefer not to be contacted by a professional, simply leave the phone number field empty and use our free guides and checklists for DIY prevention instead.
