Professional termite treatment in Mitchells Plain starts with an inspection, continues with a targeted treatment and ends with practical advice so the problem doesn't return.
Termites cause silent damage. Subterranean termites travel from the soil through foundations and wall cavities to feed on skirting boards, door frames, floors and roof timbers. Across the drier parts of the Western Cape, harvester termites also strip lawns and grazing, leaving bare patches and small soil heaps.
Why is it a problem in Mitchells Plain?
Mitchells Plain's busy town centre, shops and closely built homes make cockroach and rodent control a year-round need.
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.
