Outstanding service from Auxi and her company. Fast, responsive and great value for money. I would highly recommend their services.
Robert BraineI can't believe the efficiency, care and the pain staking efforts to get rid of the nasty little buggers. I hope you don't have my problem, but if you do the only company is Rapiplaga. The very best and I know having a cowboy lot before. Well done and thank you all very much. Linda huisken
Lyn HuiskenEfectividad, rapidez y buen servicio. A destacar el trato y la cercanía de sus profesionales, en este caso de Jorge y Fran. Sin duda, recomiendo esta empresa, y ante cualquier plaga volveremos a contactar con ellos
Raquel FernándezComparada con otras empresas, era la que antes venía (lo más importante en mi caso, alérgica a las avispas y con un nido en lapersiana) y encima a mejor precio que el resto. Cual fue mi sorpresa al llegar Auxi a casa: una profesional de pies a cabeza, que te informa de todo de tal manera que puedes entenderlo y que estuvo pendiente y no solo atenta a mi persona por mi alergia, sino también a mis tres gatos. De verdad que profesionales con tan buen hacer no hay tantos, y Auxi ha superado todas mis expectativas; al igual que su empresa y la rápidez y diligencia en todo. Un 100 de 10.
Deborah DevobotUn servicio excelente ,Jorge una persona de 10 👏🏽☺️ totalmente recomendable
Pili RodriguezMuy contenta con el trato recibido. Compré una casa recientemente y descubrí que tenía termitas, lo que fue un verdadero disgusto. La agente que vino a visitarme, creo que se llamaba Osea, me explicó todo con mucha claridad y consiguió tranquilizarme. Se nota que es una gran profesional y que hace su trabajo con dedicación. Además, responden rápido por WhatsApp y envían el informe de la visita enseguida. Muy profesionales y atentos. ¡Totalmente recomendable!

Frequently Asked Questions about Legionella Elimination and RapiPlaga
Legionella is a bacterium naturally found in water. It is harmful because it can cause respiratory illnesses like legionellosis or Legionnaires’ disease, a form of pneumonia that can be severe, especially in older adults, smokers, or those with weakened immune systems.
Detecting the presence of Legionella without specific tests is challenging, as it does not cause visible changes or taste in the water. If there are water systems that are rarely used, cooling towers, or hot and cold water systems that do not maintain appropriate temperatures, there could be a risk. It is advisable to conduct periodic analyses in susceptible facilities.
Treatments to control Legionella, such as thermal disinfection (raising the water temperature) or chlorination, are generally safe if carried out correctly and according to regulations. It is essential to follow safety guidelines and, if chemicals are used, ensure there is no direct exposure to family and pets.
Depending on the treatment method, it may be necessary to evacuate the area during its application, especially if chemical biocides are used. The time required before it is safe to return will vary according to the treatment type, and you will be properly informed before starting.
Proper maintenance and disinfection of water systems, keeping temperatures at levels that inhibit bacterial growth (hot water at a minimum of 60 °C in storage tanks and above 50 °C at taps, showers and return pipes; cold water below 20 °C where the climate allows), and avoiding stagnant water are key strategies to prevent Legionella.
Yes. In addition to our own quality protocols, RapiPlaga has an external audit carried out by Proauga, an entity listed in Aqua España’s Public Register of Legionella Auditors. Their auditors review all our jobs and the documentation for each one, and provide regular in-person training to our staff, both technicians and managers.
For our clients, this is an extra layer of safety: on top of our own controls, an external body checks that the work and its documentation comply with current regulations.
Legionella can be a significant problem in your facility. Due to the humidity and favourable climate of the Costa del Sol, this bacterium has the ability to multiply rapidly, turning a small infection focus into a difficult-to-control problem in a very short time. If you believe your place in Málaga could be affected by Legionella, do not hesitate to contact us. We will offer you a quick evaluation and give you a quote without obligation.
