Common Pests We Treat in Durban
Durban’s coastal climate is great, we love it here. But it does create ideal conditions for pests pretty much all year round, which is why proactive pest control in Durban matters. Here’s what we see most often, and how we treat it.
Cockroaches
Durban’s coastal humidity and warm, wet summers create ideal conditions for cockroaches. It’s probably one of the most common calls we get across greater Durban. With cockroaches, a few sightings usually means there’s a much larger hidden population somewhere else. So even if you deal with the ones you see, you’re still likely to see more.
- Hide in kitchens, behind appliances, and in wall cavities
- Store-bought sprays only kill what you can see
- Our cockroach control uses gel baiting and residual treatment at entry points, plus advice on keeping them out
Damp-Wood Termites & Wood Borer
Durban’s humidity is just as hard on timber as it is comfortable for cockroaches. Damp-wood termites, also called white ants, and wood borer beetles are a serious risk in older homes across Kloof, Hillcrest, and Westville.
- Damage often starts in roof timbers, unseen until it’s advanced
- We issue soil poisoning and pre-construction termite certificates
- A cheap inspection before buying or selling can avoid a costly surprise
Snake Season
Durban’s warm climate means snake activity doesn’t fully stop in winter, and calls pick up sharply through summer across Durban North, Umhlanga, and the Bluff.
- Common near cluttered garden edges, compost heaps, and roof spaces
- Rodents on the property often draw snakes in
- Same-day snake removal in Durban available; never attempt to catch or kill a snake yourself
Rats & Rodents
Rats and mice are one of the most persistent problems for Durban homes and businesses, from roof spaces in Durban North and Pinetown to warehouses in industrial areas.
- Chewed wiring and insulation can become a fire risk
- Our rodent control starts with identifying entry points and food sources
- Service contracts available for body corporates and commercial properties
