If you're dealing with a pest problem in Somerset West, our termite treatment service is designed to find the source, treat it properly and stop it coming back.
Termites cause silent damage. Subterranean termites travel from the soil through foundations and wall cavities to feed on skirting boards, door frames, floors and roof timbers. Across the drier parts of the Western Cape, harvester termites also strip lawns and grazing, leaving bare patches and small soil heaps.
Why is it a problem in Somerset West?
Somerset West's estates, retirement villages and wine farms below the Helderberg mix suburban, farm and mountain-edge pest pressures.
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.
