If you're dealing with a pest problem in Khayelitsha, our rat & mouse control service is designed to find the source, treat it properly and stop it coming back.
Rats and mice chew through wiring, insulation and stored food, contaminate surfaces and can spread disease. In the Western Cape they move indoors in numbers when the winter rains arrive, and they are a year-round problem around restaurants, refuse areas and farm stores.
Why is it a problem in Khayelitsha?
Khayelitsha's dense housing, busy taxi ranks, spaza shops and markets create ideal conditions for cockroaches and rats, especially in the wet winter months.
Flats, complexes and busy streets. In the higher-density parts of Khayelitsha, German cockroaches move between units through shared plumbing and electrical ducts, and bed bugs travel in luggage and second-hand furniture. Treating a single unit often isn't enough, so we're happy to work with body corporates and landlords on whole-building treatments.
Signs to look out for
- Gnaw marks on wiring, pipes, doors or food packaging
- Dark grease smudges along regular runways
- Nests of shredded paper, fabric or ceiling insulation
- Pets suddenly fixated on a wall, cupboard or ceiling
