Whale TechNairobiWhat we found in your trade
Of 80 pest control and fumigation companies we tested in Nairobi, 49 had no working website — and 35 of those had let a domain expire. That is the highest count of dead domains of any trade we audited.
These numbers come from the Nairobi Web Audit — 566 businesses tested in August 2026, method and limitations published in full. We don’t name the businesses.
Why it matters for pest control
The search is urgent and the decision is fast
Pest control is one of the few trades where somebody searches, chooses and books inside an hour. Whoever is visible and answers first wins the job. There is no second round.
People need the price before they call
A customer with cockroaches wants to know roughly what fumigating a two-bedroom costs. If your site answers that and your competitor makes them ring to find out, you get the call and they do not.
Safety questions decide the booking
Households with children, pets or asthma want to know what you spray and how long they must stay out. Answering that in writing removes the biggest reason people hesitate.
What your site actually needs
Not a brochure. The specific things a customer in this trade looks for before they get in touch.
- The pests you treat, each with its own page
- Indicative prices by property size
- What you use and how long to stay out
- Same-day availability and a booking button
- Estates and areas you cover
Prices are the same as everywhere else on this site — KES 25,000, 45,000 or 75,000 to build, then a small monthly amount that keeps it online. The domain is registered in your name, not ours.
Things people ask before they hire us
Should I publish my prices?
For standard treatments, yes — indicative prices by property size. It filters out people who were never going to book, and it wins the ones who hate ringing to ask. Keep bespoke or commercial jobs as quote-on-request.
Can customers book from the site?
They can send a booking request that arrives on your WhatsApp with the pest, the property size and the area already filled in, so you are not typing the same three questions forty times a day.
We treat homes and commercial premises. One site or two?
One site, two clear paths. The questions are different — a restaurant needs documentation and a compliance record, a household needs safety and timing — so each gets its own section rather than one page trying to speak to both.
How fast can it be live?
About a week for a standard site. If you are in season and losing calls now, tell us and we will get the essential pages and the booking button up first.
