Saniterpen Sl

What Saniterpen Sl does

Saniterpen SL is a Madrid-based, family-owned pest control and plant health services company operating continuously since 1967. Founded by veterinarian Don Jaime Aguado Trigueros and now in its third generation of Aguado family leadership under Director Gerente Alberto Aguado Abril, the company delivers integrated pest management (DDD — Desinfección, Desratización, Desinsectación) to individual homeowners, residential property communities, commercial establishments (restaurants, hotels, veterinary hospitals, food manufacturers), and public-sector clients in the Madrid region. Its service portfolio spans three divisions: Control de Plagas y Sanidad Ambiental (insect, rodent, bird, mosquito, and wood pest control plus disinfection), Sanidad Vegetal (tree endotherapy, biological control using natural enemies and Bacillus thuringiensis, phytosanitary advisory), and Otros Servicios (food safety/HACCP-APPCC consulting, Legionella and water quality control, indoor air quality, insect identification, phytopathological analysis, bacteriostatics, and odor control).

Technically, Saniterpen operates without disclosed software platforms — its differentiation rests on specialized methodologies and owned physical assets: company offices, warehouse, vehicle fleet, and application machinery in Madrid. Notable techniques include low-pressure drill-free endotherapy for tree treatment, superheated dry steam (180–220°C) for chemical-resistant bed bug eradication, biological control via parasitoids and predators, and a CSIC-coordinated scientific research program on Simulium erythrocephalum (black fly) population dynamics. The company maintains ISO 9001, ISO 14001, AENOR (UNE 16636), CEPA Certified, and IQNet credentials, with products registered and authorized by Spain's Ministry of Health.

The business model is professional services revenue with quote-based, on-site pricing (e.g., ~€100 ex-VAT for cockroach treatment in a 100m² home), supported by recurring contracts for property communities and food-safety compliance clients and approximately one-year service guarantees. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct: phone, email, website contact form, and a digital client portal (clientes.evisane.com), with no resellers or franchise network. Saniterpen is privately held, bootstrapped, and operates without disclosed external funding, subsidiaries, or geographic branches beyond the Madrid region.
