Professional Pest Control Brixton
The older houses on the hill in Brixton have settled over the decades, and that has opened up plenty of cracks and cavities behind skirtings, around pipework and in older brick walls. A cockroach spotted on the counter at night is just passing through. We treat the cracks and cavities it came from, not only the surface it crossed to get there.

bugging Brixton.
Pests in Brixton aren't the same as pests two towns over. We know the ones that show up here, and we know how to get rid of them. Take a look at what we treat below.

Why our neighbours trust us.
Most people who call us have already sprayed the counter themselves. The difference is not the product, it is whether anyone bothered to find the crack the roaches are actually living in.
Registered and accountable
We are registered as a Pest Control Operator under Act 36 of 1947, so if the work is poor you can take it up with the Department of Agriculture, not just with us.
Randburg based
We work out of Randburg, a short drive from Brixton. That is why a callback here is a short trip rather than a scheduling problem.
We find the crack
In an older Brixton house the roaches are usually sitting in a wall cavity or a settling crack, not out on the surfaces you can see. We inspect for those first.
Old walls, careful work
Getting product into a cavity behind cracked plaster without wrecking the finish is a technique question, not a stronger-chemical question.
Getting rid of pests
is pretty simple.

We Come to You
We inspect the property for the cracks, cavities and gaps an older hillside house tends to have, around pipework, skirtings and roof voids, before we treat anything.
We Back Our Work
We treat where the roaches are actually living, not just the counters and cupboards where you happened to see one.
Stay Bug-Free
If it comes back before it should, so do we. You have a written record of what was used and where, so a follow-up starts from what was actually done.
Good work
speaks for itself.
No lock-in contract and no vague verbal promises. A written quote, a proper inspection, and a written record of the work.
Pest control questions from Brixton homeowners
The things people in Brixton's older homes ask us most, answered straight.
No, it usually means the opposite. A roach caught out in the open at night is one that has left somewhere it was already comfortable, and in an older Brixton house that somewhere is a crack in the plaster, a gap behind a skirting board or a cavity around old pipework. What you see is a single scout. What matters is the crack it came out of, which is why we spend more time inspecting than spraying.
Age and construction, mostly. Houses built decades ago on the ridge tend to have settled a little, which opens hairline cracks in walls and around window frames, plus more brick-on-brick cavity work than a modern build. Every one of those is a place a cockroach can sit undisturbed all day. A newer, tightly sealed house simply has fewer of them.
We inspect the areas where a Brixton-era house typically has gaps: skirtings, architraves, behind kitchen units, around geyser pipes and roof-void entry points, and we apply a registered product into the crack or cavity itself rather than across open surfaces. That is where the roaches are resting during the day, so that is where the treatment needs to sit.
It will kill what is out and moving, and not much else. The population living in the wall cavity behind the cupboard is untouched, so a week or two later you are back to seeing the same thing. We treat the harbourage itself, not just the surfaces they cross to reach your food.
We are based in Randburg, which is a short drive from Brixton, and our line is open 24 hours Monday to Friday, so you can call as soon as you notice a problem rather than waiting for office hours.
Yes. Because we are placing product into cracks, cavities and roof voids rather than spraying open surfaces, it is not sitting where a child or a pet would come into contact with it. We will tell you exactly which areas to avoid and for how long before we start.
Treat where they live, not just what you saw.
