Every job starts with identifying the pest and where it's coming from. We then use the right method for the problem, whether that's gel baiting for cockroaches, lockable bait stations for rodents, residual treatment for crawling insects or a full fumigation, and explain exactly how to prepare and when it's safe to return.
Our Lakeside customers are often neighbours of the people we help in Steenberg, Muizenberg and Retreat, so pests that move between properties get dealt with across the area. Need a full inside-and-out treatment? See our fumigation service in Lakeside.
What pests are common in Lakeside?
Suburban gardens. Leafy gardens in Lakeside are great for families and pets, but also for ants, spiders and rodents. Overhanging trees give rats a route into the roof, and dogs bring fleas and ticks inside from the lawn.
Living near the sea. Salt-laden humidity in Lakeside gets into cupboards, ceilings and bathrooms, creating ideal conditions for fishmoths, silverfish and cockroaches. When cold fronts hit the coast, rats and mice look for dry shelter in roofs and garages.
In Cape Town, rodent calls peak from April to August when the winter rains arrive, while cockroaches, ants and fleas surge in the warm, dry months from November to March.

Pest control across the City of Cape Town
Cape Town's mild, wet winters and warm, windy summers let cockroaches and rodents thrive all year. Dense apartment blocks in the City Bowl and on the Atlantic Seaboard, older homes in the Southern Suburbs, busy commercial nodes in the Northern Suburbs and coastal homes from Blouberg to Simon's Town each bring different pest problems. Cape Town is our home base, so metro suburbs are where we can usually respond fastest.
