Strand's beachfront apartment blocks and holiday flats along False Bay are prone to cockroaches, bed bugs and damp-loving insects.
Good pest control is part detective work. We look for droppings, egg cases, entry points and moisture problems, then choose the treatment that fits: baits, bait stations, residual sprays, dusts or a whole-property fumigation. We also tell you what to change so the pests don't return.
Our Strand customers are often neighbours of the people we help in Somerset West, Gordon's Bay and Belhar, so pests that move between properties get dealt with across the area. Need a full inside-and-out treatment? See our fumigation service in Strand.
What pests are common in Strand?
Sea air and humidity. Coastal properties in Strand rarely dry out completely, especially in winter. Damp skirting, bathrooms and storerooms attract fishmoths and cockroaches, and ants trail inside after heavy rain.
High-density living. Busy streets, takeaway outlets and closely built homes in Strand give cockroaches and rats plenty of food and shelter. In flats, treating neighbouring units at the same time stops pests simply moving next door.
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.
