Conditional technical guarantee

Our guarantee.
Transparent, conditional and in writing.

In urban pest control there is no such thing as an absolute guarantee that a pest is "gone for good". Anyone who promises that is selling an expectation that pest biology does not allow them to meet. What we offer is honest, clear and technical: a guarantee that the service is carried out correctly, with a follow-up treatment at no cost within the period stated in the proposal.

The model

How our technical guarantee works

Desin Controlo de Pragas guarantees the correct technical execution of the contracted service, using authorised products, a method suited to the pest identified and issuing a technical report whenever applicable.

If activity of the same pest is found within the guarantee period stated in the proposal, and provided the technical recommendations given to the client have been followed, we carry out a technical reassessment and, where justified, a new treatment at no additional cost.

The guarantee does not apply to reinfestations caused by new pest entries, structural faults, lack of cleaning, exposed food, waste, water leaks, sewers, contaminated goods, animals, neighbouring properties, outdoor areas or failure to follow the technical guidance given.

By type of service

Periods and conditions by pest

Each pest has different biology, needs a different protocol and has a guarantee suited to the technical reality. These are the maximum reference periods: the actual period depends on the pest and on what is agreed in the proposal, and some services carry no guarantee.

Service Guarantee period Conditions / notes
American cockroach (sewer cockroach)
Periplaneta americana
Up to 30 days Provided there is no continuous entry through sewers, inspection chambers, drains or the building's pipework.
German cockroach
Blattella germanica
Up to 30 days Conditional on the treatment being completed in 2 visits. We do not apply a guarantee to a single, one-off treatment.
Mice and rats Up to 30 days (technical) Technical guarantee on the points treated. With rodents we work through control, monitoring and blocking access points, not through a "one-off total elimination".
Bed bugs
Cimex lectularius
Up to 30 days Applies only if the full protocol is completed (dry saturated steam + biocides + 12-hour quarantine + 2nd treatment between day 15 and day 20). It does not apply to partial treatment or where the client has not prepared the space.
Fleas Up to 30 days Conditional on the animals receiving veterinary treatment and on the textiles indicated being vacuumed and washed after the treatment.
Ticks on outdoor land No guarantee of absence Outdoor areas are naturally reinfested by animals, vegetation and the environment. We do not apply a guarantee of "total absence"; we apply a technical guarantee of execution.
Ants Up to 30 days Depends on where the nests are, the access points and the food sources. Where there is a recurring outdoor nest, we recommend a monitoring plan.

All periods are confirmed in writing in the proposal before the service begins.

Our wording

What we state in proposals and contracts

Technical guarantee of execution

Our service includes a technical guarantee of execution. If pest activity persists within the period stated in the proposal, we carry out a technical reassessment and, if it is confirmed to be the same infestation that was treated, we carry out a follow-up treatment at no additional cost, provided the recommendations given by Desin have been followed.

Follow-up commitment

We do not just promise to apply a product. We work with diagnosis, strategy and technical follow-up. That is why, whenever the service is contracted within the recommended protocol, we offer a technical guarantee that is conditional on the site being correctly prepared and on the prevention guidance being followed.

The essentials

Why we do NOT use the phrase "total guarantee"

✕

We do not promise "permanent elimination"

Pests come back in through luggage, goods, sewers, neighbouring properties, animals, gardens and building works. Promising total elimination would be dishonest.

✕

We do not say "100% pest-free"

In an urban setting, with neighbours, shared sewers and people coming and going, "100% free" is technically impossible for any company in the sector.

✓

We say "conditional technical guarantee"

We guarantee correct execution, the right method, and a follow-up treatment at no cost if the same infestation persists within the period, with the recommendations followed.

✓

We say "technical follow-up"

For pests with a risk of coming back (rodents, outdoor ticks), we work through ongoing monitoring and exclusion. It is the approach that works, rather than empty promises.
