As summer hits full swing, thousands of people are flocking back to holiday homes across Ireland. But if your property has been closed up for months, you might not be the first one to return – pests often settle in when humans leave.
Whether it’s seaside bungalow, rural cottage, or your Airbnb rental, now it’s time to book a holiday home pest check – before the real guests arrive.
Holiday Home Pest Checks – What You Need to Know Before You Stay
When a property is left unoccupied for weeks or months, it becomes the perfect environment for pests to move in unnoticed.
- Rodents seek shelter and warmth in attics or behind appliances
- Wasps build nests in sheds, eaves, and loft
- Ants find their way into kitchens and floorboards
- Flies and silverfish thrive in damp or unventilated spaces
And once they settle in, they can multiply quickly.
What We Look for During a Pest Check
At Central Pest Control, our technicians carry out a full inspection inside and out:
- Signs of rodent entry (droppings, gnawed wires or food)
- Insect nests in roof spaces, vents, and outdoor areas
- Gaps in doors, windows, or pipes that pests use to enter
- Attic and shed inspection
- Drone-assisted roof and gutter checks (optional)
We provide an easy-to-read report and offer quick, discreet treatment if anything’s found.
Prevention Is Key
Even if no pests are currently present, we’ll advise on the best prevention methods:
- Installing rodent-proof mesh
- Sealing entry points
- Natural pest deterrents
- Setting up routine checks if the property is empty long-term
