Pests and properties in Pretoria
Pretoria is warmer and more sheltered than Johannesburg, and its jacaranda lined suburbs hold many older homes with timber roofs and ceilings. Waterkloof, Brooklyn, Arcadia and Muckleneuk see borers, subterranean termites and rodents in roof voids, and swarms of flying ants follow the first heavy summer rains. Hatfield and Sunnyside have student housing and flats where cockroaches and bed bugs are common, while government buildings, hospitals and offices need scheduled pest programmes. Silverton, Waltloo and Pretoria West have food producers and workshops that call for hygiene audits. Many pest controllers serve both Tshwane and Johannesburg, so quotes are easy to compare.

Typical cockroach control requests in the area come from:
- Homes and families: a gel bait treatment of the kitchen and bathrooms, with a follow-up visit after three weeks
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: treatment between tenants and across a whole block, so roaches do not move from unit to unit
- Offices, schools, clinics and shops: tea rooms, canteens and storerooms treated after hours with low-odour baits
- Restaurants and food businesses: bait stations, crack treatment and records for restaurants, takeaways and bakeries facing an audit
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: quiet night-time treatments of kitchens, laundries and rooms for guesthouses and hotels
- Factories, warehouses and mines: canteens, loading areas and drains treated, with cardboard storage moved off the floor
