Which pests are common in Tel Aviv?

Tel Aviv is dense, old and close to the sea. That mix brings five main pests. German cockroaches live in kitchens, behind the fridge and in cabinets. American cockroaches — the big ones — come up from sewers, drains and garbage rooms, especially in older buildings. Rats and mice live around garbage rooms, building gardens, storage rooms and basements. Ants march into kitchens and balconies in spring and summer. Bed bugs travel in luggage and used furniture.

In summer, mosquitoes breed in standing water on balconies and in yards, and wasps build nests in shutters. The right ID decides the treatment: a German and an American cockroach need different methods, and so do a rat and a mouse. Not sure what you have?

Bed bugs in Tel Aviv

Bed bugs are small, flat, red-brown insects that feed on blood at night. You find them in mattress seams, bed frames and headboards, often with small black dots (droppings) next to them. Bites usually show up in a line or a cluster on the arms, neck or legs.

Bed bugs do not fly or jump, and they do not come from dirt. They arrive on things: a suitcase back from a hotel, hostel or short-term rental, a second-hand sofa or bed frame, or a guest's bag. Tel Aviv has a lot of all three — travellers, short-term rentals and second-hand furniture — so we treat bed bugs here all year round.

Signs to check: bites in the morning, black dots on the mattress seam, shed skins, or a live bug in the bed frame. Found one? Do not spray store-bought products on the bed. It scatters the bugs into walls and furniture and makes the treatment harder. Take a photo and send it to us.

How we treat bed bugs

Bed bug treatment in Tel Aviv costs 700 ₪ per room, with a 2-year written warranty. It is done in one visit with steam and spray, by a technician from our team who specialises in bed bugs. Dekel explains the whole process and the prep in English before the visit.

  1. Inspection. We confirm it is bed bugs and find where they hide. If bugs are found, the inspection fee is deducted from the treatment price.
  2. Prep before the visit. Wash everything that was on and under the bed, including the duvets and pillows, at 60°C or put it in the dryer. Bag items from under the bed that cannot be washed and leave the bags on the bed. Only the bed and the mattress stay in the room. Wash closet clothes only if the bed touches the closet. In most cases you do not need to throw out furniture.
  3. Steam. High-temperature steam on the mattress seams, the bed frame, the headboard and every crack the bugs hide in.
  4. Spray. A residual spray approved by the Ministry of Environmental Protection.
  5. After the treatment. Come back home after 6 hours. Do not wash the floors for 3 days. Two weeks later, wash again everything that was on the bed. Keep the bed about 10 cm from the walls for a month, and do not paint the walls during the warranty.

Each room takes 30–60 minutes. We do not use a vacuum — proper steam work makes it unnecessary. If bugs come back during the warranty, we come back free of charge. More about bed bugs (Hebrew): bed bug treatment.

Rats and mice in Tel Aviv

Rat and mouse control in Tel Aviv starts from 460 ₪, with a written warranty. Rats are one of the most common calls we get in the city. Old sewer lines, building gardens, open garbage rooms and construction work push them into yards, storage rooms and ground-floor apartments.

Rat or mouse? A rat is large, with a long thick tail. It digs burrows in gardens and along fences, and travels through sewers and garbage rooms. A mouse is small and lives inside: kitchen cabinets, behind appliances, in false ceilings and storage rooms. The treatment is different, so we identify first.

Signs to check: droppings along walls and in cabinets, chewed food packages or cables, scratching in the ceiling or walls at night, holes in the garden near the building, and a sharp smell in closed rooms.

How we get rid of rats and mice

  1. Inspection. We find the burrows, the routes and the entry points — sewer openings, gaps under doors, holes around pipes and air-conditioning lines.
  2. Rats outside. Closed bait stations around the building, mainly around the garbage room and next to the burrows we find. Kids, dogs and cats cannot open them.
  3. Mice inside. Glue boards and bait stations along their routes — behind appliances, in cabinets and above false ceilings.
  4. Close the way in. We show you which openings to seal so new rodents do not come back.
  5. Follow-up. If rodents are still active during the warranty, we come back free of charge.

Most homes need one visit and a check of the results a few days later. For buildings and businesses we also offer a monthly contract. More about rats (Hebrew): rat control · mouse control.

How we handle other pests

  1. Call or WhatsApp — in English. Describe the problem or send a photo. Dekel tells you what it is, what we will do and the price before we come.
  2. Arrival. Usually the same day. Urgent cases within two hours.
  3. Find the entry point. Cracks, drains, sewer openings, the garbage room, gaps under doors. Without this, the treatment does not hold.
  4. Treat by pest. Cockroaches and ants: odourless gel bait (green treatment), or spray for heavy infestations and sewers. German cockroaches in restaurants: gel only, no need to close. Rats and mice: see above. Wasps: nest removal.
  5. Clear instructions. When to come back home (2 hours after a regular treatment) and what not to clean.

A standard apartment treatment takes 30–60 minutes.
