Guests arriving

Guesthouses and B&Bs that need a problem cleared fast.

Why Pest Problems Grow Fast in Hillcrest

In Hillcrest’s climate, a small pest problem can become a big one quickly.

Hot, wet summers Many pests breed fast in Hillcrest’s summer months.
Bush and smallholdings Gardens that back onto bush, and smallholdings with feed and animals, keep rats and insects close to the house.
Shared walls In townhouse and cluster complexes, pests spread from one unit to the next.
Older homes Large roof spaces and gaps around eaves give rats easy access.

We do call-outs across Hillcrest, Winston Park, Everton, Waterfall and Botha’s Hill, and in neighbouring Gillitts and Kloof.

What Happens When You Book

Tell us what you’re seeing

WhatsApp us, with photos if you can, and we’ll confirm a time.

Inspect and treat

Mark confirms the pest and treats it on the same visit where possible.

Re-entry advice and report

We tell you when it’s safe to go back in and give you a written report.

If a problem needs more than one visit, we’ll explain the plan before we start.

Before the Exterminator Arrives in Hillcrest

A few simple steps help us find the problem quickly and treat it on the first visit.

Send photos A photo of the pest, droppings or damage over WhatsApp helps us bring the right treatment.
Don’t spray beforehand Shop-bought sprays can scatter ants and cockroaches into new hiding places, making them harder to find.
Note where you’ve seen them Tell us which rooms, what time of day and how often. It narrows down where they’re living.
Clear the main areas Put food away and clear the cupboards under the kitchen and bathroom sinks so we can get in.
Plan for pets and children Arrange for them to be out of the treated rooms until we say it’s safe to go back.

If something needs more than one visit, we’ll explain why before we start.
