Professional Pest Control Saxonwold
Saxonwold's older homes come with wooden floors, deep roof voids and gardens that have had decades to mature, and all three deserve a careful hand rather than a quick spray. We work around your finishes and your pets, choosing where and how we treat so the house looks the same after we leave as before we started.
Saxonwold, Johannesburg
We know what's
bugging Saxonwold.
Pests in Saxonwold 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 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 Control

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.

Why our neighbours trust us.
An old Saxonwold home has original floors, a deep roof and a garden that has had years to settle in. None of those should be the cost of getting rid of what's living in them.
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, close to Saxonwold. That is why a callback here is a short drive rather than a scheduling problem.
Careful with finishes
Wooden floors, old skirtings and roof timbers get targeted treatment rather than a flood spray, and we tell you where we're working before we start.
Careful around old timber
Where wood borer has got into the panelling or the roof timbers, we treat the timber itself and tell you how far it has already spread.
Getting rid of pests
is pretty simple.

Get a Quote
Tell us what you are seeing, and whether it's the floors, the roof or the garden. 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 walk the property first, the floors, the roof void, the garden beds and any outbuildings, and work out exactly where the problem is living before we touch anything.
We Back Our Work
Where the floors or timber are involved, we treat through small targeted points rather than surface spraying, so the finish you have is the finish you keep.
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, not guesswork.
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 Saxonwold homeowners
What people with older homes here actually ask us, answered straight.
No. Old wooden floors are usually the whole reason someone in Saxonwold calls us in the first place, so the last thing we want to do is mark them. We do not flood a floor with liquid. Where borer or another wood-attacking insect is active, we work through small, targeted injection points along the boards rather than surface spraying, and we tell you beforehand exactly where those points will go.
We look for the actual signs rather than guessing from the age of the house: fine round exit holes, a dusting of fresh powder under a board, or a board that sounds hollow when tapped where an older one doesn't. A house being old does not mean it has an active infestation, and we will tell you plainly if what you are seeing is just wear rather than something alive in the timber.
Big older roofs give rats, mice and sometimes bats a lot of room to move without ever being seen from below. We go up and actually look, rather than treating from the manhole and hoping, then deal with what's living there and point out the gaps in the fascia or tiles that let them in. Closing those is on you or your roofer, but we will show you exactly where they are.
Registered products, applied at the registered rate, and placed into cracks, roof voids, wall cavities and bait stations rather than left on open floors or skirtings your pets can reach. On a mature Saxonwold garden that also means baiting away from where the dogs actually walk and dig, not just away from the house. We will tell you which areas to keep them off, and for how long.
Both, and on a mature stand the garden is usually where the problem starts. Established trees, old brick borders, thick beds and outbuildings give ants and rodents a run all the way to the house. We check the garden and any outbuildings before we touch the inside, so we are not just chasing what's already come through the door.
We work out of Randburg, so a Saxonwold callout is a short drive rather than a scheduling exercise. Our line is open around the clock Monday to Friday, so you can book at the time you actually notice the problem instead of waiting for office hours to open.
