Pests and properties in Sandton

Sandton is a financial and residential hub where pest control is driven by offices, hotels, restaurants and large apartment blocks. High rise towers in Sandton Central and Rivonia attract cockroaches and rodents through basements, kitchens and shared refuse areas, and discreet service outside business hours is normal. Bryanston, Hyde Park and Morningside have big gardens with mature trees, so termites, wood borers, ants and snakes are common, and swarms follow the first summer storms. Restaurants and hotel kitchens need regular treatments and hygiene records. Clients are mostly facilities managers, property managers, hotel groups and homeowners, and teams usually travel in from across northern Johannesburg.
