Pest control

Pest control company

As a pest control company we have developed a standardized control system with international recognition.

Lokimica has implemented a system that unifies preventive and control processes needed to achieve conditions that avoid the proliferation of organisms that are harmful to the well-being and the environment.

Pest control services

We have implemented a system that is constantly improved. The main goal is to apply the treatment using the lowest quantity of the product.

Our system respects the environmental conditions where it’s been applied and it has the support and the recognition of the most important quality regulations in the sector.

Main pests we fight

Mosquitos
Tiger mosquito

(Aedes Albopictus)

Small-sized black mosquito with white lines. The main highlight is the white longitudinal line present on its thorax. Active during the day and in urban spaces, capable of reproducing in small water recipients. Bites people continuously and can transmit virus such as Dengue, Zika or Chikungunya.
Common mosquito

(Culex pipiens)

Brown mosquito that bites during the night, usually bigger than the tiger mosquito. Its larvae can be found in clear waters as well as contaminated ones, and in urban areas or the countryside. It transmit diseases such as the Nile virus or Dilofilariasis.
Marshland mosquito

(Aedes caspius)

Mosquito most present in wetlands and swampy zones. Its eggs can resist months in the dry land in this areas until the rains start their biological cycle. Adults bite very aggressively during the day and dusk time. They can also fly for several kilometers from where they were born.
Cockroaches
Red or american cockroach (Periplaneta americana)
Big-sized cockroach (up until 4-5 centimeters) that requires very elevated temperature and humidity conditions, and tends to proliferate in the municipal sewage system. Its developed wings allow them to fly occasionally.
Black or Orient cockroach

(Blatta orientalis)

Cockroach related to dark places with high temperature and humidity. In lots of places, especially in the Mediterranean area, it’s been displaced by the red cockroach. It can’t fly.
Blonde or German cockroach

(Blatella germanica)

Small-sized cockroach (normally less than 2 centimetres) common in interiors (houses, restaurants, markets, kitchens, etc). Found normally near heat points and with access to food nearby like fridge motors, microwave, coffee machines, etc.
Rodents
Grey rat or sewer rat (Rattus norvegicus)
Rodent of a decent size (up to 50 cm) with its tail shorter than the rest of its body. Usually found underground, building burrows, or in the sewage systems at cities.
Black rato or Tree rat

(Rattus rattus)

Rodent of medium size (up to 35 cm) with a tail longer than the rest of the body, found in heights such as treetops, aerial chambers or suspended ceilings of houses or farms.
Domestic mouse or common mouse

(Mus musculus)

Small-sized rodent (up to 20 cm) and very light (no more than 40 grams). It’s strongly paired to human activity for its reproduction. Found in areas in which can easily find food and shelter (houses, hospitality businesses, food industry, livestock farming, etc.).
Pine processionary, termites and black fly

Pine processionary

(Thaumetopoea pityocampa)

Lokimica has developed an innovative method for the control of the pine processionary, allowing to apply the treatment without using any chemical products or indiscriminated biocides scattering. This way, Lokímica protects the environment where the treatment is carried out at the same time the population is controlled.

Termites

(Isoptera)

Our treatment with certified baits achieves the total elimination of termite colonies without building work and without evictions. In addition, we use products that are not toxic to humans, pets or the environment.

Black fly

(Simuliidae)

Linked to flowing waters such as rivers, streams, canals or ditches. Some species notoriously bite humans to obtain their blood and can travel several kilometres in search of people or animals to feed on. Optimal control requires strategic monitoring plans and periodic, highly technical larvicidal actions.

Other pests

Ants

There are different species that can cause occasional problems in homes, shops, hotels, gardens and municipal facilities, among others. They frequent these spaces because they obtain suitable food, and the correct and accurate identification of the ant species is essential in some cases in order to adequately address their control.

Red palm weevil

At Lokimica we treat this species as an exotic and invasive species with microwaves, endotherapy and the use of pathogenic fungi. In addition, re-infestations are common. For this reason, periodic check-ups adapted to the insect’s biology and environmental temperatures must be carried out.

Bedbugs

When infestation levels are very high, population control is complicated. For this, we combine physical, mechanical, chemical and cultural methods for effective control in affected habitats.

Urban birds

Our principles of action are based on technical criteria of proven effectiveness, under parameters of prevention in terms of public health, and prioritising animal health and welfare at all times.

Ticks

There are 2 main types of ticks: soft and hard ticks. Both are haematophagous (they need to ingest blood to develop). Most species are usually associated with vegetation and high humidity.

Tomicus

As a general rule, endotherapy treatments are used to control this beetle. This work is carried out from February to April and from September to November. In addition, other shock treatments are carried out, such as the installation of bait points or the use of pheromone traps.

Pulgas

Only adult fleas bite and ingest blood. Problems are associated with the presence of possible flea-affected animals near people. Fleas jump to move between hosts in order to bite them.

Flies and phlebotomus

Different types of flies can cause nuisance and contamination processes. Detecting breeding sites and managing them properly is key to control.
