Question 1

How much does pest control cost in Western Cape?

Accepted Answer

In Western Cape, a general treatment for cockroaches or ants costs R450–R900, rodent control R600–R1,500, and a full-house fumigation R1,500–R4,000. Termite treatment is more involved at R2,500–R12,000 depending on method and infestation.

Question 2

Are pest control operators in Western Cape registered?

Accepted Answer

By law, every Pest Control Operator handling pesticides must be registered with the Department of Agriculture (DAFF) under Act 36 of 1947 and carry a valid P-number. All operators on FlowLeads are vetted for registration and insurance before joining. Using an unregistered operator is illegal and unsafe.

Question 3

How do I know if I have termites?

Accepted Answer

Common signs are mud tubes, hollow-sounding or sagging timber, discarded wings near windows, and frass. Termites cause serious structural damage and need professional treatment — get an inspection quickly, as treatment is far cheaper than repairing eaten timber.

Question 4

Is pest control safe for children and pets?

Accepted Answer

Registered operators use approved products at safe concentrations and advise on precautions. Always tell the operator about young children, pregnant family members, or pets so they choose the right product and method.

Question 5

How long does treatment last?

Accepted Answer

A general treatment typically keeps pests away for 3–6 months; many operators offer quarterly maintenance plans. Rodent and termite treatments usually include follow-up visits, plus advice on prevention — sealing gaps, removing food sources, and managing moisture.
