Pests We Target

Cockroach Pest Control 

 

We provide you with dependable cockroach pest control in Johannesburg. The most common species in South Africa is the German cockroach. Able to live up to 6 weeks without feeding and without its head for about a week. Females lay 30 to 48 eggs about every 6 weeks, making infestations happen fast. Found primarily in kitchens, bathrooms, or other areas where daily access to food and water is available.


 

  

Ant Pest Control 

 

Ants are tiny in size, but they can be a huge nuisance in and around the home as they search for food and shelter. Damage by ants to houses and other structures is caused over a long period of time through soil removal from paving and foundations. Usually ants nest outdoors, but can be known to build nests in wall cavities, under house foundations, woodpiles, paved areas, water features, and pebble beds. Common ants in South Africa are the Brown House Ant, the Black Sugar Ant, and the Pharaoh Ant. While the different species are attracted to different foodstuffs, the general treatment for all is the same.
 

Roof Rats

 

These agile pests often nest in ceilings, attics, and roof spaces, causing damage to wiring, insulation, and stored goods—not to mention the health risks they pose.

Our process is precise, safe, and effective:

 

Thorough Inspection
We start by identifying all entry points, nesting sites, and feeding areas. Roof rats are excellent climbers, so we inspect gutters, vents, rooflines, and overhead cables for signs of activity.

 

Strategic Baiting & Trapping
Using professional-grade traps and rodenticides, we carefully position control measures in high-activity zones. Our methods are chosen to ensure maximum effectiveness while keeping your household or business safe.

 

Exclusion & Proofing
Once the rats are removed, we seal up all possible entry points—from small gaps in roofing to open vents and cracks. This prevents new infestations from occurring.

 

Sanitisation & Prevention
Finally, we clean and disinfect affected areas to remove droppings and odors that attract other rodents. We also provide expert advice on maintaining a rodent-free environment.

 

Mice

 

At Target Pest Control, we know how quickly a small mouse problem can turn into a major infestation. Mice can squeeze through openings as small as a coin, contaminate food, and damage property with their constant gnawing. That’s why our approach is fast, focused, and effective.

 

1. Detailed Inspection

We begin by identifying where the mice are nesting, feeding, and entering your property. Our technicians look for droppings, gnaw marks, tracks, and hidden access points around skirting boards, cupboards, and roof spaces.

 

2. Tailored Control Plan

Every infestation is different, so we create a control plan suited to your specific situation. We use a combination of traps, baits, and non-toxic options depending on the environment — ensuring maximum effectiveness and safety.

 

3. Sealing Entry Points

After removing the mice, we focus on prevention. We locate and seal small cracks, holes, and gaps that mice use to enter your home or business. This step is essential to stop re-infestation.

 

4. Cleaning & Monitoring

We clean and sanitise affected areas to eliminate odours and bacteria. We also set up ongoing monitoring and offer maintenance services to keep your property mouse-free all year round.

At Target Pest Control, we don’t just treat the symptoms — we eliminate the source.

 

Spiders

 

At Target Pest Control, we understand that spiders can make any home or business feel uncomfortable—and in some cases, pose a real risk if venomous species are present. Our spider control service is designed to remove existing infestations and prevent new ones from taking hold.

 

1. Inspection & Identification

We start with a detailed inspection to identify the type of spiders present and where they’re nesting. Common hiding spots include roof corners, garages, basements, window frames, and outdoor areas such as eaves and garden sheds.

 

2. Targeted Treatment

Once we identify the species, we apply safe and effective treatments using professional-grade insecticides and residual sprays. These are carefully applied to key spider harborage areas—cracks, crevices, and entry points—to eliminate both adult spiders and their egg sacs.

 

3. Web & Nest Removal

We remove visible webs and nests around windows, ceilings, and exterior walls. This not only improves appearance but also discourages spiders from returning to treated areas.

 

4. Prevention & Maintenance

To keep your property spider-free, we offer long-term prevention strategies such as sealing gaps, reducing outdoor lighting that attracts insects (spider food), and maintaining regular pest control treatments.

 

At Target Pest Control, our approach is safe, effective, and thorough—giving you peace of mind knowing your space is spider-free and protected.

 

Bedbugs

 

We know how distressing a bedbug infestation can be. These tiny pests hide in mattresses, furniture, and cracks—emerging at night to feed, leaving itchy bites and sleepless nights behind. Our expert team uses proven methods to detect, eliminate, and prevent bedbugs safely and effectively.

 

1. Comprehensive Inspection

We begin with a thorough inspection of beds, furniture, skirting boards, and other potential hiding places. Bedbugs are excellent at hiding, so our trained technicians use specialized tools and knowledge to locate even the smallest infestations.

 

2. Advanced Treatment Plan

Once the infestation is confirmed, we design a treatment plan tailored to your situation. Depending on the severity, this may include chemical treatments, heat applications, or a combination of both—ensuring complete elimination at all life stages, from eggs to adults.

 

3. Follow-Up & Monitoring

Because bedbugs can be persistent, we schedule follow-up visits to monitor progress and ensure every last bug is gone. Our team inspects treated areas and retreats if necessary to guarantee total control.

 

4. Prevention & Advice

After treatment, we provide professional guidance on how to prevent future infestations, including inspecting luggage after travel, using mattress covers, and maintaining cleanliness in sleeping areas.

 

At Target Pest Control, we don’t just remove bedbugs—we restore comfort, confidence, and peace of mind.

 

Wasps

 

We understand that wasps can quickly turn from a nuisance into a real danger. Their aggressive nature and painful stings make them a serious concern for homes, schools, and businesses. Our expert team provides fast, safe, and effective wasp control—keeping your property and family protected.

 

1. Careful Inspection

We start by locating the nest and identifying the species. Wasps often build nests in roof spaces, wall cavities, trees, sheds, and under eaves. Understanding the nest’s location and size helps us choose the safest and most effective treatment method.

 

2. Professional Nest Treatment

Using specialized insecticidal dusts and sprays, we treat the nest directly to eliminate all active wasps—including the queen. Our treatments are fast-acting and designed to stop wasp activity within hours.

 

3. Safe Nest Removal

Once the colony has been neutralized, we safely remove the nest where possible. This helps prevent new wasps from returning and re-establishing a colony in the same area.

 

4. Prevention & Aftercare

We advise on practical prevention steps such as sealing entry points, keeping outdoor bins covered, and avoiding sweet food or drink exposure near doors and windows during the summer months.

At Target Pest Control, we focus on quick response, safe removal, and lasting protection—ensuring your property stays wasp-free all season long.
