Pests and properties in Centurion

Centurion sits between Pretoria and Midrand and is made up largely of security estates, townhouse complexes and newer family homes. Lawns, gardens and irrigated verges in places such as Irene, Eldoraigne and Heuweloord attract ants, termites, fleas and rodents, and estates near open grassland often see snakes and moles. Flying ants and harvester termites swarm after summer rains. Body corporates and homeowners associations arrange scheduled garden and perimeter treatments, while Lyttelton and Route 21 have offices, hotels and light industry needing regular service. Clients are mostly estate managers, homeowners and corporate tenants, and pest control teams often cover the whole Tshwane area.
