Why Brakpan homes get cockroaches and ants
Many Brakpan homes are older properties with original kitchens, older plumbing and outside drains, all of which suit cockroaches. Large American cockroaches often come in from drains and outside rooms, while German cockroaches settle in behind kitchen units and appliances. Older cupboards with gaps and damaged backing boards give them extra hiding places. We treat the kitchen, bathrooms, drains and outside areas so the whole home is covered.

How we treat

Pet and family safe: keep cats, dogs and children out of treated areas until dry, usually about an hour.
Tips for Brakpan homeowners
- Check behind your fridge and stove. Droppings that look like ground pepper point to German cockroaches.
- Repair damaged cupboard backs and gaps; they're prime roach hiding spots in older Brakpan kitchens.
- Keep outside rooms and storerooms tidy, as clutter gives roaches somewhere to breed.
