Every job starts with identifying the pest and where it's coming from.

What pests are common in Philadelphia?
Farms, smallholdings and vineyards. Around Philadelphia, rats and mice move from the fields into homes, sheds and feed stores after harvest and as winter sets in. Ticks are common on dogs and livestock, and staff housing and farm kitchens are prone to cockroaches.
In Cape Town, rodent calls peak from April to August when the winter rains arrive, while cockroaches, ants and fleas surge in the warm, dry months from November to March.

Pest control across the City of Cape Town
Cape Town's mild, wet winters and warm, windy summers let cockroaches and rodents thrive all year. Dense apartment blocks in the City Bowl and on the Atlantic Seaboard, older homes in the Southern Suburbs, busy commercial nodes in the Northern Suburbs and coastal homes from Blouberg to Simon's Town each bring different pest problems. Cape Town is our home base, so metro suburbs are where we can usually respond fastest.
