Pest Control Prices in Cairo 2026 — Spraying, Roaches & Bed Bugs

Pest control prices — indicative table

These are ranges to compare against, not an official tariff. The price moves with apartment size, the pest, and how bad the infestation is — and nobody can pin that down without seeing the place, or at least photos.

One thing to watch: most advertised prices are for a single visit. If the infestation is established or widespread, you'll need a follow-up — ask what that costs up front, not afterwards.

What actually drives the price up

• The pest itself — cockroaches and ants are the cheap end. Bed bugs and fleas are the expensive end, because they hide inside upholstery, mattresses and wall cracks.
• Severity — if you're seeing insects during the day, the infestation is heavy and won't be solved in one visit.
• Size and number of rooms — obvious, but ask whether they price per room or per apartment.
• Product and method — gel and bait stations for roaches are a different job from spraying, and heat/steam treatment for bed bugs costs more than a standard spray.
• Kitchen and bathrooms — this is where the real work is, and they take longer than bedrooms.
• Follow-up visits — most serious infestations need a second treatment roughly two weeks later to kill whatever hatched after the first one.
• Commercial premises and restaurants cost more than apartments — bigger areas, different requirements.

Bed bugs: the hardest and most expensive job

Bed bugs are not a spray-and-done pest. They live in mattress seams, behind headboards and in wall cracks — meaning a surface spray of the floor may never reach them. That's why the indicative range (800–2,000 EGP) sits well above the others, and why anyone promising "one visit and they're gone for good" is selling you a fantasy.

The eggs survive the first treatment and hatch later. The second visit is what actually ends the problem. If your agreement doesn't include a follow-up, you will most likely end up paying twice.

Your own prep matters too: wash bedding and fabrics at the hottest temperature the material allows, and vacuum the mattress and bed frame before the technician arrives. It genuinely improves the outcome.

Before anyone sprays in your home, ask this

• What product are you using? Ask to see the container yourself — a real professional won't mind.
• Does the price include a follow-up visit? If not, what does one cost?
• How long do I need to stay out, and when should I open the windows?
• I have young children / I'm pregnant / I have a cat or dog — what should I do?
• Do I cover the kitchen, food and utensils, or do you?
• Is there a guarantee? If the pests come back within a month, do you return at no charge?

Red flags

• A suspiciously low phone quote given without a single question about the pest or the size of the place. That number will change on arrival.
• Refusing to name the product or show you the container.
• "One spray and your bed bugs are gone permanently" — that isn't realistic.
• No mention of ventilation or a safe re-entry period. A technician who won't talk about safety isn't a professional.
• Pressure to pay the full amount in cash before any work starts.
• An overpowering smell brushed off as "normal" with no instructions — stop and ask before they continue.

How Eidak works — offers come to you

Instead of calling five companies, hearing five prices and having no way to tell who's being straight with you, you post the job once: the pest, the size of the place, and photos if you can. Professionals send you their offers, and you compare price, ratings and past work side by side.

The money doesn't go straight to the technician. It's held in escrow until you confirm the work is done. Minimum task value is 200 EGP, and Eidak adds 10% on top of the bid — the professional receives 100% of what they bid.

If you forget to confirm, escrow auto-releases 24 hours after the job is marked complete, so the professional isn't left waiting either.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a pest control company in Cairo cost?

There's no single figure. A preventive apartment spray runs roughly 350–800 EGP, cockroach treatment around 400–1,000 EGP, and bed bugs are the most expensive at roughly 800–2,000 EGP because they need more than one visit. These are indicative — the accurate way to find out is to get several offers on the same details.

How many treatments do bed bugs need?

Usually at least two. The first kills the visible insects, but the eggs survive and hatch a week or two later — which is why the second visit isn't optional. Treat any promise of a one-and-done fix with scepticism.

Do I have to leave the house after spraying?

It depends on the product and method — gel and bait are completely different from spraying. Ask the technician about the safe re-entry period and ventilation before they start, and tell them up front if you have small children, are pregnant, or have pets.

How often should I spray my apartment?

With no active problem, most people do a preventive treatment roughly every six months, often before summer. An actual infestation is a different, curative job that needs follow-up — not a routine spray.

Is spraying safe around children and pets?

Every product has precautions. Tell the technician about children or animals up front, and ask what they're using and how long before you can return. If they can't answer that clearly, find someone else.
