Frequently asked questions

What types of pests do you handle?

We handle a wide range of common household, commercial, and industrial pests found throughout Zululand. Our treatments cover ants, cockroaches, rodents (rats and mice), termites, wood borer, fleas, flies, mosquitoes, ticks, fishmoths, lice, weevils, and spiders. We also provide specialised solutions for termite and wood borer inspections and are certified to issue Entomologist Certificates for property transfers.

Yes — all our treatments are carefully selected and applied to be safe for children, pets, and the environment. We use registered, environmentally responsible products and follow strict application guidelines to ensure safety while still achieving effective pest control. If any specific precautions are needed (for example, temporary ventilation or keeping pets out of a treated area), our technicians will always explain these before starting the job.
The ideal frequency depends on your environment and the type of pests you’re dealing with. For most homes and businesses, we recommend regular treatments every 3 to 6 months to keep pests under control year-round. High-risk areas such as food establishments, coastal properties, or older buildings may benefit from quarterly visits. Our team can assess your specific needs and set up a maintenance programme to ensure ongoing protection and peace of mind.
In most cases, you don’t need to leave your home during treatment. Our technicians use low-odour, targeted products that are safe when applied professionally. However, for certain treatments — such as fumigation or extensive termite work — we may recommend that residents, pets, and sensitive items be temporarily removed for safety and comfort. Before any service, our team will explain exactly what to expect and provide clear preparation and re-entry guidelines.
How long does a pest control treatment take?
Treatment time depends on the size of the property and the type of pest problem, but most standard visits take between 30 minutes and 2 hours. Larger or more complex infestations — such as termites or rodent problems — may require follow-up visits or longer inspection times. Our technicians always provide an estimate on arrival and work efficiently to minimise disruption to your home or business.
You’ll often notice a reduction in pest activity within the first few days after treatment, as products begin to take effect. For some pests — such as ants, cockroaches, or fleas — it can take up to two weeks for the treatment to reach full effectiveness as it targets eggs and hidden colonies. Our technicians may recommend follow-up visits or preventative measures to ensure long-term control and to stop pests from returning.
Yes — all our services come with a satisfaction guarantee. We stand by the quality of our work and use only proven, professional products to ensure effective results. If pests return within the guaranteed service period, our team will revisit and re-treat the affected area at no extra cost. We also provide written service reports and treatment records for your peace of mind, especially for commercial and food-industry clients.
Before your visit, please clear floors and counters, store food and utensils, and cover pet items. Let our technician know where you’ve seen pest activity — this helps us treat problem areas effectively.
How much does pest control cost?
Pricing depends on the type of pest, treatment required, and property size. We offer free quotations and ensure fair, competitive rates with guaranteed results. Contact us for an estimate tailored to your specific needs.
