Pest Control Questions
Do you carry out pest control yourselves?
No. This is a quote-comparison service. Independent pest-control providers inspect, quote and do the work, and your agreement is with the provider you appoint.
Is requesting quotes free?
Yes. Requesting quotes costs nothing and there is no obligation to accept any of them.
Which service should I choose if I am not sure what the pest is?
Describe what you see, where and when, and add a photo if you can. Providers can identify the pest and recommend the right treatment.
Should pest control providers be registered?
Pest control operators in South Africa must be registered under the Fertilizers, Farm Feeds, Agricultural Remedies and Stock Remedies Act 36 of 1947. Ask for proof before work starts.
How often should pest control be done?
It depends on the pest and property. Homes often need a once-off treatment with a follow-up. Food businesses and properties with recurring problems usually use monthly or quarterly service plans.
