If you're dealing with a pest problem in Mitchells Plain, our cockroach control service is designed to find the source, treat it properly and stop it coming back.
Cockroaches are the pest we're called about most. German cockroaches breed incredibly fast in warm kitchens, behind fridges and inside appliances, while the larger American cockroach lives in drains, sewers and roof spaces and wanders indoors at night. Store-bought sprays usually just scatter them deeper into walls.
Why is it a problem in Mitchells Plain?
Mitchells Plain's busy town centre, shops and closely built homes make cockroach and rodent control a year-round need.
Flats, complexes and busy streets. In the higher-density parts of Mitchells Plain, German cockroaches move between units through shared plumbing and electrical ducts, and bed bugs travel in luggage and second-hand furniture. Treating a single unit often isn't enough, so we're happy to work with body corporates and landlords on whole-building treatments.
Signs to look out for
- Roaches running for cover when you switch the kitchen light on at night
- Droppings like ground pepper or coffee grounds in drawers and cupboard hinges
- Brown egg cases (oothecae) behind the fridge, stove or microwave
- A musty, oily smell in cupboards in heavier infestations
How does our cockroach control work?

How should I prepare?

- Do not spray store-bought insecticide before we arrive: it repels baits and spreads roaches
