Pest control in Houghton, handled by the giants.

Treatments start from R850, depending on property size and pest. A heritage home's roof timber and a golf-course-facing garden need different scopes, so the free inspection sets out the work before any quote is confirmed.

Coverage includes the area Estate, Lower the area, Upper the area, the golf course precinct, Sylvia Road, Munro Drive, the St Andrews precinct, the heritage cluster and the Louis Botha Avenue border. Mention your street when booking so tree and boundary access can be planned.

Mature canopy can give rats and squirrels direct branch access to roof spaces that a smaller garden would not offer. We check overhanging limbs and roof edges together rather than treating the roof void in isolation.

Yes, boundary vegetation, irrigation and water features along the fairways create different pest pressure from an ordinary garden. We check these fence lines specifically for rat activity and mosquito breeding sites.

Ask whether the operator is SAPCA-affiliated and confirm the products used are registered under Act 36 of 1947. These are separate checks, so request evidence of both rather than assuming one implies the other.

Not necessarily; an old flight hole without fresh frass may be historic and inactive. We assess current activity and moisture conditions before recommending any timber treatment on heritage roof structures.

Prices start from R850. The final figure depends on the pest, how established the infestation is, the size and layout of the property, and whether you need a single treatment or a monitored contract. Every quote follows a free inspection and is itemised in writing, so there are no call-out surprises.

Same day, subject to seasonal availability — summer is busier than winter, so peak-season bookings can move to the next working day. Emergency callouts are answered 24/7 by standby technicians, and contract customers get priority dispatch.

Yes. Every service is guaranteed for at least 3 months unless we tell you otherwise in writing before the work starts. If the same pest returns inside that window we come back and re-treat at no extra cost.

Yes. South African Pest Control Association (SAPCA member). Technicians work only with legally registered products, carry public liability insurance, and can provide certificates and method statements on request for audits and insurers.

Yes. Every job uses low-toxicity, professionally approved products applied by technicians licensed to South Africa pest management standards. Where a product needs it we set a short exclusion window for the treated room, and your technician walks you through the exact safety steps before leaving site.

Both. Local customers can book a single callout for an immediate problem, or set up a scheduled contract with regular inspections, monitoring stations and reporting — ideal for homes with recurring seasonal issues around the area Estate, Lower the area, Upper the area, the area Golf Course precinct, and essential for commercial, food-service and industrial sites across Gauteng.

Across Gauteng we treat rats, mice, squirrels, birds, fleas, bed bugs, mosquitoes, ticks, ants, spiders, scorpions, silverfish, carpet beetles, cockroaches, flies, moths, wood borers, weevils, termites, wasps, bees and moles — plus the structural, proofing and sanitation work that goes with each one.

We cover the whole town plus the surrounding Gauteng, including the area Estate, Lower the area, Upper the area, the area Golf Course precinct, and out to Parktown, Yeoville, Killarney. If you are not sure whether your street falls inside the area, call the local technician and ask — coverage is dispatched from within the district, not from a distant depot.

Cash, Bank transfer, Card. Residential work is settled on completion; contract and commercial customers are invoiced on agreed terms with full treatment documentation attached.

Yes. Commercial and industrial clients receive audit-ready documentation — site plans, treatment logs, materials data sheets, monitoring reports and recommendations — so you stay compliant with the food-safety, healthcare and insurance requirements that apply in South Africa.

Absolutely. Proofing is core to how we work here: we identify entry points, seal them with durable materials suited to the local building stock, and install bird netting, spikes or wire systems so the problem doesn't return. We cover the same ground out to Parktown, Yeoville, Killarney.

English and Afrikaans. Site notes, quotes and treatment reports are issued in English so they can be handed straight to a landlord, insurer or auditor.
