Professional Pest Control Douglasdale
Most homes in Douglasdale sit inside a complex, and a complex shares more than a boundary wall. One unit with cockroaches or ants is rarely just that one unit for long, because the drain lines, the roof void and the service ducting run past every door on the row. We look at what the units share before we treat what is inside yours.
Douglasdale, Johannesburg
We know what's
bugging Douglasdale.
Pests in Douglasdale 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.
Ants Control
Ants Control
Ants are sneaky. They get into your food and hide deep inside your walls. We find exactly where they’re coming from and stop the whole colony for you.
Spiders Control
Spiders Control
Nobody likes walking into a spider web. Whether they're in the garage or the basement, we clear them out and make sure new ones can't get back in.
Roaches Control

Roaches are tough to get rid of by yourself. We use special tools to find their hiding spots and clear them out quickly.
Rodents Control

Mice and rats can chew on wires and make a big mess. We catch them and seal up any tiny holes so they can’t sneak back into your house.
Mosquitoes Control

Mosquitoes can ruin a nice day outside. We treat your garden and the places water collects so they stop breeding and stop biting.

Bed bugs hide in your mattress and bite while you sleep. We use heat and safe treatments to get rid of them so you can sleep soundly again.
Fleas Control

Fleas are tiny bugs that jump on you and your pets. We clear them out of your carpets and bedding to make your home feel clean again.
Silverfish Control

Why our neighbours trust us.
A complex problem is rarely a one-unit problem. The difference is whether anyone looks at the shared drain run and the roof void before treating a single kitchen.
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 Douglasdale. That is why getting back to a complex is a quick trip rather than a scheduling problem.
We look at what units share
In a complex the trail usually runs through a shared drain, a party wall cavity or a roof void serving several units, not just the one that called. We check those before we treat inside your unit.
We talk to the complex
Where the trustees or the managing agent will have us, we say plainly what a block-wide treatment would take. One unit alone is a partial answer.
Getting rid of pests

Get a Quote
Tell us what you are seeing and whether any neighbouring units are affected too. You get a written quote before anything is booked, so the number you agree to is the number you pay.
We Come to You
We inspect your unit and, where relevant, the shared drain access points, ducting and roof void, to see whether the source sits inside your walls or in space several units share.
We Back Our Work
We treat what is yours to treat, and put in writing what belongs to the body corporate, so you have something concrete to raise with trustees rather than a guess.
Stay Bug-Free
If it comes back before it should, so do we, working from the written record of what was done and where.
Good work
speaks for itself.
No lock-in contract and no vague verbal promises. A written quote, a proper inspection of shared spaces where relevant, and a written record of the work.
Pest control questions from Douglasdale residents
The things complex residents and homeowners here ask us most, answered straight.
Because a complex is one plumbing system wearing four front doors. Cockroaches move along the shared drain lines and through the gap where pipework passes from one unit into the next, so spraying inside a single kitchen only ever clears that kitchen for a while. If the unit against the wall or below the slab still has a nest, it restocks yours. We ask who else on the row is affected before we quote, because the honest answer to a complex infestation is usually more than one door.
Both, depending on where the problem sits. Inside your own walls, floors and cupboards, it is yours to deal with. Where it is coming from a shared duct, a common drain run or a roof void that several units share, that is a body corporate conversation, and we are happy to put our findings in writing so you have something to take to a trustee meeting rather than just an opinion.
We can seal the gap on your side and treat the void behind it, which stops the trail into your unit. We cannot force entry into the neighbouring unit, so if the nest itself sits on their side of the party wall, closing your gap buys you time rather than ending it. We will tell you plainly which of the two you are getting before you pay for either.
The products are the same, but where we look is not. In a freestanding home we start with the garden and the boundary. In a complex we start with the shared drain access points, the roof void above the row and the service ducting, because that is where a unit-to-unit problem is actually living, not inside any one kitchen.
We work out of Randburg, so Douglasdale is a short drive. Our line is open around the clock from Monday to Friday, which matters in a complex, because the neighbour who calls first is usually the one who gets seen first, and the rest of the row is left waiting on someone else's booking.
