Professional Residential Pest Control Services in Gauteng

Restore Comfort & Safety to Your Home

Your home should be a sanctuary, not a breeding ground for pests. At Pest Control Experts, we provide comprehensive residential pest management designed specifically for Gauteng homes. We don’t just spray and leave; we identify the root cause of the infestation to ensure long-lasting relief for you and your family.

Why Homeowners Choose Us:

  • Family & Pet Safe: We use industry-approved, regulated treatments that are tough on pests but safe for children and pets when applied by our licensed technicians.

  • Guaranteed Results: Our treatments are backed by service guarantees. If the pests come back, we’re there to solve it.

Common Gauteng Pests We Treat

Gauteng's climate creates the perfect environment for specific household pests. We specialize in eliminating the most common nuisance and dangerous pests found in Pretoria and Johannesburg homes:

  • Cockroaches: We target the hiding spots of German and American cockroaches to break the breeding cycle and prevent food contamination.
  • Ants: From kitchen counters to garden nests, we treat ant colonies at the source to stop them from returning.
  • Rodents (Rats & Mice): We use safe, strategic baiting and trapping methods to clear rodents and protect your home from wiring damage and disease.
  • Termites: Protect your property value with our specialised termite treatments that create a barrier against structural damage.
  • Biting Insects: We effectively treat bed bugs, fleas, and spiders to ensure your family can sleep soundly without bites or irritation.

Our Treatment Process

1

Step 1: Comprehensive On-Site Inspection

Every home is unique. When our licensed technician arrives, we don't start by spraying; we start by listening. We discuss the activity you’ve noticed and then perform a detailed inspection of your property. We check high-risk areas—roof voids, sub-floors, kitchens, and exterior perimeters—to identify not just the pests you see, but the nesting sites you don't.

2

Assessment & Transparent Plan

Once we understand the scope of the infestation, we explain exactly what is happening. We will propose a tailored treatment plan that targets the specific pest species invading your home. You will receive a clear, upfront explanation of the methods we will use and the results you can expect—no hidden costs, no guesswork.

3

Safe, Precision Application

Your safety is our priority. We apply industry-approved, regulated treatments using precision methods (such as gel baits, tamper-proof stations, or targeted sprays) that focus on pest harborage areas while keeping your living spaces safe. Our technicians work efficiently and respectfully, ensuring minimal disruption to your daily routine.

4

Prevention & Aftercare Advice

Eliminating the current pests is only half the battle. Before we leave, we provide expert advice on how to prevent future infestations, such as sealing entry points or managing moisture. We will also explain our Service-Specific Re-treatment Guarantee, so you can rest easy knowing that if the pests persist, we will return to set it right.

Why Professional Treatment?

1. We Treat the Source, Not Just the Symptoms Store-bought sprays are typically "contact killers" that only eliminate the pests you can see. This often ignores 90% of the infestation hiding in your walls or roof. Our licensed technicians identify the nesting site and use specialized baits that pests carry back to the colony, eliminating the problem at its root. (Pro Tip: Spraying ants with common bug spray can actually cause the colony to split and spread to other rooms, a process called "budding.")

2. Safety for Your Family & Pets DIY pest control often leads to the overuse of generic chemicals in sensitive areas like kitchens. We use industry-regulated, low-toxicity treatments that are specifically designed for residential environments. We know exactly where to apply them to maximize effectiveness while ensuring your children and pets remain safe.

3. Long-Term Cost Savings Buying can after can of bug spray adds up quickly when the pests keep coming back. A professional treatment might seem like a larger upfront cost, but it provides a long-term solution. With our Service-Specific Re-treatment Guarantee, you stop paying for temporary fixes and invest in a pest-free home.

4. Expert Identification Not all pests are the same. A "flying ant" might actually be a termite causing structural damage. Using the wrong treatment for the wrong species can be ineffective or even dangerous. Our technicians are trained to correctly identify the species and select the exact treatment method required to stop them.

Common Questions

Do I need to leave my house during the treatment?

In most cases, no. Modern pest control methods are non-invasive. You may need to vacate a specific room for a short period while we spray, but you rarely need to leave the property entirely. Our technician will guide you based on the specific treatment being used.

Do I need to clean my house before you arrive?

It helps to clear away clutter, especially around skirting boards or under sinks, so our technicians can access pest hiding spots. However, no deep cleaning is required beforehand. We recommend not using store-bought bug sprays right before we arrive, as this can interfere with our professional baiting systems

What specific pests do you treat?

We treat all common Gauteng household pests, including ants, cockroaches, rats, mice, termites, bed bugs, fleas, and spiders. Please note that we do not offer bee removal services; we recommend contacting a specialist beekeeper for that.

What if the pests come back after you leave?

We stand by our work. Our services come with a guarantee (terms vary by pest and treatment type). If the infestation persists within the guarantee period, we will return to re-treat the area at no additional cost to ensure the problem is solved.

Do you offer free quotes or call-outs?

We provide free estimates over the phone, WhatsApp, or email. However, we do not offer free on-site call-outs. Our technicians are licensed professionals, and our transparent pricing reflects the quality and insurance coverage of our service.

Which areas in Gauteng do you service?

We have dedicated teams servicing Pretoria (including East/North), Centurion, Midrand, Sandton, Johannesburg South, Randburg, and Roodepoort. If you are in a surrounding suburb, give us a call—we likely cover your street too.

I’m renting. Who pays for the pest control?

Generally, this depends on the lease agreement and when the infestation occurred. If pests were present when you moved in, it is typically the landlord's responsibility. However, if an infestation develops due to living conditions (like food waste) during your tenancy, the cost often falls to the tenant. We can provide an invoice to whichever party is responsible. We suggest reviewing your contract and contacting your landlord to establish who is responsible for before booking to establish who is responsible for the invoice.

Can I just use a supermarket spray instead?

Supermarket sprays are "contact killers"—they only kill the pests you see. They often fail to reach the nest where the breeding happens. For pests like ants and German cockroaches, spraying can actually cause the colony to split and spread into new areas of the house (a process called "budding"), making the problem worse. Our professional treatments target the nest to eliminate the colony entirely.

How do I book a service?

Booking is simple. You can fill out the quote form on this page, call us directly at 071 590 6630, or send us an email. We will ask a few questions about the pest problem and your location, provide an estimate, and schedule a technician for a time that suits you—often on the same day.
