Seasonal pests include wasps from spring through autumn and increased rodent activity in winter. Pigeons are a growing problem in commercial areas, requiring bird proofing solutions.

Yes, most conveyancing attorneys in George require a wood borer and beetle-free certificate before property transfer. A qualified pest inspector examines roof timbers, wooden floors, door frames, and furniture for signs of active infestation or previous damage. If treatment is needed, the property is fumigated and a clearance certificate issued. Budget R1,500-R3,500 depending on property size and whether treatment is required.

Prevention is key for rodent control. Seal gaps around pipes, under doors, and in walls — mice can squeeze through 6mm gaps. Store food in sealed containers, keep bins closed, and remove pet food at night. Trim vegetation away from buildings and clear clutter that provides hiding spots. For active infestations, professional baiting programmes are more effective than DIY traps. Our George pest controllers can also install proofing measures to prevent re-entry.
