Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  1. Why does Durban have more pest problems than other parts of South Africa?

    Durban’s warm, humid, coastal climate creates near-ideal conditions for most common household pests, from cockroaches and wood borer to ants and mosquitoes. Pests that struggle to survive in drier, cooler regions thrive here year-round, which is why prevention matters more in Durban than in many other areas.

  2. How often should I get my home inspected for pests?

    For most Durban homes, an annual inspection is a good baseline, though older homes, homes near green belts, or properties with a history of infestation may benefit from more frequent checks. Catching early signs before they become full infestations usually saves money in the long run.

  3. Which pests are most common in Durban homes?

    Cockroaches, wood borer, ants, rodents, and mosquitoes are among the most frequent issues we deal with, largely because of the humidity and coastal climate. Termites are also a serious concern for older properties with untreated timber.
