Local Pest Control & Exterminator, Built for Chatsworth Properties

Chatsworth was developed in the 1960s across eleven neighbourhood units, from Bayview, Shallcross and Silverglen to Westcliff, Havenside, Crossmoor, Moorton and Kharwastan, and much of that original housing stock, along with the flats and complexes built up around it since, is now over 60 years old. That combination of aging roof timbers and closely built homes makes termites, wood borer and cockroaches a regular concern, especially where treatment has lapsed or was never done.

We work with homeowners, landlords and body corporates across Chatsworth, offering termite protection, wood borer treatment and cockroach control for houses, flats and complexes, plus snake removal for properties bordering the Silverglen and Riverlands Nature Reserves, with documented certificates for compliance, insurance and property sale requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  1. Why do older Chatsworth homes see so much termite and wood borer activity?

    Much of Chatsworth’s housing stock was built in the 1960s, and many of the original roof timbers were never treated, or treatment has lapsed over the decades. Combined with closely built homes and complexes, this makes termite and wood borer activity a regular concern. A professional inspection is the best way to know where you stand.

  2. Do you treat flats and complexes, not just standalone houses?

    Yes, we work with body corporates, landlords and homeowners across Chatsworth’s flats, complexes and freestanding homes, offering scheduled treatments and documented reports for common areas as well as individual units.

  3. Do you deal with snakes near Silverglen and Riverlands Nature Reserve?

    Yes, properties bordering the Silverglen and Riverlands Nature Reserves do see occasional snake activity, particularly in the warmer months. We offer same-day snake removal and advice on reducing what attracts them to a garden.

  4. Do I need a termite or wood borer certificate to sell my Chatsworth property?

    Many property transactions in South Africa require a valid beetle-free or termite clearance certificate as part of the sale agreement. We issue documented certificates after treatment or inspection for exactly this purpose.
