Pest Management

The design, implementation and maintenance of pest prevention / elimination programmes for cockroaches, rats, mice, flies, bedbugs, fleas, stored product insects and occasional invaders.

Eco Pest provides a fully guaranteed service and call backs in between basic service intervals are not charged for. Emergencies, ie: cockroach, rat, fly etc activity are reacted to immediately and in this respect, our service is provided on a 24 hour, 7 day a week basis.

Due to the varied nature of our clients' businesses, we will accommodate services that are required to be conducted after hours.

What we treat

Standard pest management at EcoPest covers the species you'd expect on a South African commercial or domestic site: cockroaches, rats, mice, flies, bedbugs, fleas, stored product insects and the various occasional invaders that turn up after rain. The programme is designed end to end, not pieced together per call-out.

  • Cockroaches
  • Rats
  • Mice
  • Flies
  • Bedbugs
  • Fleas
  • Stored product insects
  • Occasional invaders

How the programme works

Pest management is a service, not a single visit. We design the programme around the building, the activity inside it, and the pest pressure. Basic services run at agreed intervals; emergencies (active cockroach, rat or fly activity) are responded to immediately on a 24-hour, 7-day-a-week basis. Call-backs between scheduled services are included, not billed separately.

Due to the varied nature of our clients' businesses, we schedule after-hours service where that's what the brief calls for. Food processing, hospitality and retail typically can't stop trading for pest work, so we plan around that.

Commercial: food, hospitality, FMCG

Food processing facilities sit at the high end of pest-control risk. Round-the-clock activity, heavy traffic through multiple entrances, and storage areas that double as ideal breeding grounds. Pesticide use is often restricted or off the table entirely.

We build commercial programmes to comply with Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP), and we design them to fit Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). Our technicians are trained against these standards rather than against a generic certification. The audit trail is built in from day one.

Domestic: family-safe, pet-safe

For homes we use eco-sensitive pesticides wherever they apply, and where stronger products are needed we apply them with strict attention to secondary-poisoning risk. The solution is designed around minimum inconvenience to the household, and around the safety of children and pets first.

Credentials, briefly

EcoPest is a member of the South African Pest Control Association (SAPCA). All our technicians are certified through the South African Department of Agriculture for the use of registered pesticides and treatment techniques. We keep their training current as new techniques and registered products come into the market.

FAQ

Frequently asked

Do you charge for call-backs between scheduled services?
No. If activity returns between basic service intervals, we come back at no extra charge. Pest management is treated as a programme, not a once-off, and call-backs are part of the contract.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency?
Our pest management service runs on a 24-hour, 7-day-a-week basis. For active cockroach, rat or fly emergencies, we respond immediately. After-hours service is standard rather than an upcharge for clients on a maintenance programme.
Can the work happen after hours so the business does not have to close?
Yes. Many of our clients (food processing, retail, hospitality) cannot stop trading for pest work. We schedule after-hours where the brief calls for it, with no surcharge on most service contracts.
Are the pesticides safe around children and pets?
We use eco-sensitive pesticides wherever they are appropriate, and we apply them with care to minimise any secondary-poisoning risk. The pesticides we do use are all registered through the South African Department of Agriculture, and our technicians are trained and certified in their handling and application.
Do you handle food-processing facilities differently?
Yes. Food processing is one of the most regulated and most sensitive environments to treat. Our programmes are built to comply with HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) and to fit Good Manufacturing Practices. The use of pesticides is often not an option in these settings, and our solutions are designed around that constraint.
