Pest & Rodent Control in Airbnb
Spiticare News & Insights
Maintaining a clean and safe environment is the cornerstone of success for any Airbnb. Positive guest reviews rely heavily on the hygiene of your property. However, protecting your accommodation from pests is not just a matter of good hospitality, it is a legal requirement.
The 5170/2025 Law and Owner Obligations
According to the 5170/2025 Law, it is mandatory to implement professional pest and rodent control applications in Airbnb. These applications must be accompanied by the corresponding legal certificates. Such accommodations are strictly inspected by the Ministry of Tourism to ensure compliance with the required standards. Failure to comply will result in significant penalties.
What Exactly Do These Services Entail?
Pest Control: This refers to the thorough inspection and eradication of insects that have found, or could find their way to your property. At Spiticare, the methods we use for effective insect suppression are primarily targeted spraying and the application of specialized gel baits, depending on the specific needs of your space.
Rodent Control: This involves the management and eradication of rodents. We achieve this by installing secure bait stations, which contain approved formulations in the form of wax blocks, or by using adhesive capture boards, depending on the area where they are placed.
