Fumigation Services in Cape Town

Expert Pest Elimination for Homes & Businesses



What is Fumigation?

Fumigation uses specialized gases or mists to eliminate pests in hard-to-reach areas like walls, roofs, and furniture. It is ideal for severe infestations that sprays or traps cannot resolve.


Types of Fumigation We Offer

  1. Gas Fumigation
    • How It Works: Seal the property and release odorless gas (e.g., sulfuryl fluoride) to penetrate walls, floors, and soil.
    • Best For: Termites in wooden structures, bed bugs in mattresses, and large-scale infestations.
    • Example: Eradicated termites in a Victorian home in Observatory without damaging original woodwork.
  2. Fogging
    • How It Works: Disperse a fine insecticide mist to coat surfaces and kill pests on contact.
    • Best For: Mosquitoes in gardens, cockroaches in kitchens, and flies near V&A Waterfront apartments.

When to Choose Fumigation

  • Termites: Active in Cape Town’s coastal suburbs like Muizenberg and Kalk Bay.
  • Bed Bugs: Common in short-term rentals near Long Street or Camps Bay.
  • Shipping Containers: ISPM-15 certification for exports via Cape Town Harbour.
  • Failed DIY Treatments: Sprays often miss pests hiding in walls or under floors.

FAQs: Your Questions Answered

Q: What chemicals do you use?
A: We use sulfuryl fluoride gas (for termites) and pyrethroid-based mists (for insects). All products meet South African safety standards.

Q: How long does fumigation take?
A: Gas fumigation takes 24–72 hours. Fogging finishes in 2–4 hours. We confirm timelines during inspection.

Q: Can fumigation harm birds or rodents in my roof?
A: No. Fumigation targets insects. For birds or rodents, use our bird control or rodent removal services first.

A: DIY kits risk incomplete pest removal or chemical misuse. Our licensed technicians:

  • Handle hazardous fumigants safely.
  • Secure permits for suburban areas like Claremont or Sea Point.
  • Guarantee results with a 6-month warranty.

Q: Is fumigation safe for children’s toys?
A: Yes. Remove plush toys, but plastic/metal items can stay. We provide a checklist before treatment.
