Why Rodent Infestations in Gauteng Require Professional Attention

Gauteng's urban centers like Johannesburg and Pretoria provide ideal environments for rodent populations to thrive. The mix of dense urban areas, suburban developments, and diverse climate conditions creates perfect breeding grounds for rats and mice throughout the year.

Rodents in Gauteng pose significant risks to both residential and commercial properties:

  • Property Damage: Rats and mice constantly gnaw to maintain their teeth, damaging structural elements, electrical wiring (creating fire hazards), plumbing, and personal belongings.

  • Health Hazards: Rodents carry and transmit diseases like leptospirosis, salmonellosis, and hantavirus through their droppings, urine, and parasites.

  • Food Contamination: Businesses in the food industry face particular risks as rodents contaminate food supplies and damage packaging.

  • Reputation Damage: For businesses, visible rodent activity can devastate your reputation and lead to regulatory problems.

Our Comprehensive Rodent Control Process

Our approach to rodent control in Gauteng addresses current infestations while preventing future problems:

1. Thorough Inspection and Assessment

  • Food and water sources
