Cover story
A calmer home,
one room at a time.
Fumigation and pest control in Abeokuta that tells you exactly what will happen, how long it takes and when it is safe to come home. With your family and pets planned for first.
Feature
Why spraying alone never works
A short essay on rainy season pests, and what actually keeps them away.
Rainy season in Abeokuta brings two things to every compound: mosquitoes from the drains and cockroaches from the soak away. Most families reach for a spray can. It works for a night, and then they are back.
Pests return when we treat what we see and not where they live. A cockroach you see is one of hundreds behind the cooker. A mosquito in the parlour hatched in a gutter you have not looked into for months.
That is why every Cleanslate visit starts with an inspection, not a spray. We find where the pest lives, how it gets in and what it eats, and we treat those places with the smallest amount of product that will work.
Treat where pests live, not just where you see them.
Then we tell you, in writing, how long we will be in the house, how long everyone must stay out, when the windows can open and when we are coming back. No guessing, no strong smell lingering into the night.
Families with babies, pregnant women, asthma or pets get their own plan. Some will leave for longer. Some treatments, like bait stations and gel, need nobody to leave at all.

Letters
Letters to the editor
From clients in Oke-Ilewo, Ibara and Lafenwa.
Sir, about our kitchen
We had fought cockroaches for two years. Cleanslate told us exactly what to empty, when to leave and when to come back. Two visits and the kitchen is quiet.
On the matter of our dog
They asked about our dog before anything else, and gave us a written list for the day. Bingo spent the afternoon with my sister and came home to a clean compound.
A note from the shop floor
Rats in a provisions store are a nightmare. They sealed every gap and the bait boxes are locked, so my staff are safe.
