We live in a world surrounded by insects; there’s no getting away from them. But it’s different when they enter our homes. Not only does it feel like an invasion, but they can do serious structural damage—especially bugs like termites.

Any home that has wood (so, every house) is susceptible to a termite infestation. That’s why it’s important to use a pest control service that knows what it’s doing.

At Mostert, we’ve been helping people control the pests in their homes and commercial properties in South Africa for 20 years, making us experts with the knowledge to resolve just about every pest problem out there.

What Makes Mostert Termite Control Solutions Different?

Our termite control solutions are different for a number of reasons. Let’s take a look at why you should choose us to get rid of the termite infestation in your home.

Termite Inspections

We start with a thorough termite inspection. This means locating all nests and hiding places in and outside your property. It’s important to find not only the sites where the termites are causing extensive damage, but also to find their nests—because these aren’t always the same place. The key to tackling termites is to poison both of these areas, and that’s why our preliminary termite inspections are so important.

Termite Treatment

Our termite treatment is specially formulated to completely destroy all termites in their various stages of growth—from the egg to the nymph to the adult.

In addition to this, we treat the perimeter of your home as well, so there’s as solid barrier against them getting into your home or business.

We also treat for different kinds of termites—did you know that there are three kinds in South Africa? Dampwood, drywood, and subterranean termites. Now you know.

Because these different types of termites live in different substrates, i.e., dry wood, damp wood, and underground, they each need a separate treatment plan. When you have an infestation that’s a combination of these, you can start to understand how complex a job it can be to deal with them.

Luckily, we have branches in every province of the country, because certain breeds are more common in certain areas. For example, dampwood termites are more likely to be found in KwaZulu-Natal due to the damp and humid conditions of this area.

Safe for the Family

We create a mix of potent chemicals that stops these pests dead in their tracks. This is why it’s important to call in experienced experts like us; we know what ratios of chemicals to use so that the pests are destroyed but pets and children aren’t placed in serious danger.

Registered Field Biologists

For commercial facilities with termite problems, we offer a field biologist service, which many other pest control services do not. Our qualified experts are capable of creating a long-lasting and regular maintenance plan that will ensure bugs like termites are kept at bay. This is especially important for certain industries where insects can seriously compromise the integrity of the work being done.

Once a plan has been put into place, our field biologists will continuously monitor it to ensure it remains effective, and adjust as needed. It’s just part of our ethos to provide excellent after-sales service to our customers.

Contractual Pest Control

While we can rid your property of pests, that doesn’t mean they won’t come back again in the future. That’s why we offer a contractual solution to your termite and other-pest problems. You can design the contract how you see fit—we can come back to poison every six months or a year, depending on how often these pests come back.

This is a part of our HACCP/IPM programmes. These are technologically advanced solutions, tried and tested over the long term to eradicate bugs season after season. They offer short- and long-term solutions to the problem of insect infestations.

We Destroy More Than Just Termites

If you have more than just a termite problem, we can deal with a number of other pests at the same time. These include rats, wasps, cockroaches, ants, flies, mosquitoes, and more. Our expertise in mixing the right chemicals can ensure that the inside of your home or business remains largely pest-free.
