A: No. Pest control is the broad term for all pest management — inspections, baiting, trapping, gels, sprays and prevention. Fumigation specifically means chemical treatment to eliminate active infestations. Fumigation is one tool within a broader pest control approach. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) combines both for long-term prevention.

What does PCPB-licensed mean and why does it matter for pest control in Nairobi?
Q: Why should I only use a PCPB-licensed pest control company?
A: PCPB (Pest Control Products Board) is Kenya’s regulatory authority for pest control. A licensed company uses only approved chemicals and certified technicians.
