In Johannesburg’s warm and humid climate, termites thrive quietly beneath the surface, often going unnoticed until significant damage has occurred. These pests, known as silent destroyers, can compromise the structural integrity of a property by feeding on timber, flooring, and even furniture. What starts as a small colony can quickly turn into a costly problem if left untreated.
At Pestatermite, we specialise in professional termite pest control in Johannesburg. Our team of certified experts provides thorough inspections, customised treatment plans, and long-term prevention strategies to ensure your property remains termite-free. Whether you own a residential home or manage a commercial building, our goal is to deliver effective, safe, and lasting termite protection.
Because termites feed within wood, they are difficult to detect until damage is already done. Look out for these common signs:
– Mud tubes or tunnels along walls, skirting boards, or foundations.
– Discarded wings near windows or light fixtures, usually after a swarm.
– Hollow or brittle wood when tapped, especially in door frames or floors.
– Peeling paint or sagging floors, which may indicate hidden activity.
– Moisture accumulation or damp areas that attract termite colonies.
If any of these indicators are present, immediate action is essential. Contacting a licensed pest control professional ensures early detection and a targeted treatment plan.
Over-the-counter sprays or DIY treatments may temporarily kill visible termites but rarely reach the underground nests where colonies live. Professional termite control uses specialised equipment, tested chemicals, and expertise to eradicate termites at the source and prevent their return.
At Pestatermite, our technicians use SABS/SANS-approved products that are both family- and pet-safe. We focus on sustainable termite management by addressing the root cause, not just surface symptoms. Each treatment includes a detailed inspection report, a service warranty, and post-treatment monitoring to ensure long-term results
2. Targeted Soil Treatment
We create a chemical barrier in the soil surrounding your foundation to stop termites from entering and eliminate existing colonies.
3. Wood Treatment
For active infestations, we treat any wood within your structure such as skirting, doorframes, windowsills and roof trusses.
4. Pre-Construction Proofing
For new builds, Pestatermite offers pre-construction termite proofing to prevent infestations before the property is completed.
While professional control is vital, prevention plays a key role in keeping termites away. Johannesburg homeowners can reduce risk by maintaining good drainage, fixing leaks promptly, and ensuring wood does not come into direct contact with soil. Store firewood above ground level, remove old stumps near buildings, and keep gutters clear of debris.
Sealing foundation cracks and scheduling annual inspections with Pestatermite are also excellent preventative measures. Our specialists provide professional advice tailored to your property to help safeguard your home year-round.
