Agricultural Pest Control Services in Nairobi and Kiambu Counties, for All Types of Pests and Infestations, by CleanCare Cleaning

Agricultural pest control is vital for farmers in Nairobi and Kiambu Counties, where fertile soils support diverse crops like maize, vegetables, coffee, tea, and horticultural produce. Pests threaten yields, spread diseases, and compromise food safety, leading to significant economic losses. CleanCare Cleaning offers comprehensive, professional services tailored to these regions, handling everything from aphids and locusts to rodents and termites.

The Growing Need for Professional Pest Management

Nairobi and Kiambu Counties are agricultural powerhouses in Kenya, with Kiambu known for its coffee and dairy farms, and Nairobi's peri-urban areas booming in vegetable and flower production. However, rapid urbanization, climate change, and intensive farming have fueled pest infestations. Common invaders include fall armyworms devastating maize, aphids attacking brassicas, and root-knot nematodes undermining tomatoes. Without expert intervention, farmers lose up to 40% of harvests annually.

CleanCare Cleaning steps in with science-backed solutions. Their team of Pest Control Products Board (PCPB)-certified technicians uses Integrated Pest Management (IPM), combining monitoring, biological controls, and targeted chemical applications. This approach minimizes environmental impact while maximizing efficacy, unlike haphazard DIY spraying that breeds resistance.

Comprehensive Services for All Pest Types

CleanCare handles every infestation stage, from prevention to eradication. Services cover field crops, greenhouses, orchards, and storage facilities.

Crop-Specific Pest Control

For staple crops like maize and potatoes, CleanCare targets armyworms, stem borers, and cutworms. They deploy pheromone traps to disrupt mating cycles and apply Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) biopesticides, safe for beneficial insects like pollinators.

Vegetable farmers in Juja and Ruiru battle whiteflies, thrips, and spider mites. CleanCare's foliar sprays and systemic insecticides penetrate plant tissues, while neem-based products provide residual protection. In coffee estates around Thika, they combat coffee berry borers and leaf miners using trunk injections for precise delivery.

Rodent and Vertebrate Control

Rats, moles, and birds ravage stored grains and roots. CleanCare installs bait stations with anticoagulant rodenticides, tamper-proof to protect non-target wildlife. Ultrasonic repellents and exclusion netting safeguard greenhouses, ensuring compliance with export standards for EU-bound produce.

Soil and Root Pests

Nematodes, white grubs, and termites destroy roots in sandy Kiambu soils. Soil fumigation with chloropicrin or metam sodium sterilizes affected areas, followed by biofumigants like mustard amendments. CleanCare's soil solarization uses plastic mulching to harness sunlight, killing pathogens naturally.

Stored Product Pests

In warehouses near Nairobi's markets, weevils, beetles, and moths infest grains. CleanCare employs phosphine gas fumigation in sealed silos, achieving 100% mortality without residues. Heat treatments up to 60°C eliminate eggs in sacks, ideal for organic certification.

Advanced Techniques and Eco-Friendly Solutions

CleanCare prioritizes sustainability, aligning with Kenya's Vision 2030 for green agriculture. Over 70% of their products are low-toxicity, biodegradable formulations approved by PCPB.

Drones enable precision spraying over large acreages, reducing chemical use by 30%. Thermal imaging detects hidden infestations in dense foliage. Biological agents like predatory mites and parasitic wasps offer long-term suppression for aphids in flower farms.

Fumigation services use aluminum phosphide for cereals or methyl bromide alternatives for high-value exports. All treatments include re-entry intervals and buffer zones to protect waterways like the Ruiru River.

Safety is paramount. Technicians wear full PPE, and farms receive detailed reports on application rates and withholding periods. Pet and livestock-safe options ensure no disruptions to dairy operations in Limuru.
