Cockroaches carry a range of diseases – from salmonella and dysentery to gastroenteritis and typhoid. Even their droppings can cause eczema and asthma!

Although insecticides that kill insects including cockroaches are available in the market – but these are only effective if the problem is at its beginning stages. Once established, these resilient creatures breed rapidly and breed rapidly and can soon infest your entire home. Infestations are likely to reoccur, because any surviving cockroach eggs will hatch in one or two months.

At Pestoman, we use a combination of non-toxic insecticides, dusts and sprays to find you a permanent solution from a cockroach infestation.

Rats and mice in the home are a serious health risk. In addition to carrying diseases, they also carry parasites like fleas, mites and ticks which can cause allergies in people and pets. They are also destructive and can gnaw on anything from paper to plastic and even wood! In the garden, they can dig burrows, uprooting plants, destroying your compost (if any) and eat your garden veggies.

These nocturnal beings are extremely quick and stealthy, so it may be difficult to spot them. However, you will be able to see their droppings or the damage they have started to cause. Setting out traps to instantly kill or capture these rodents or using poisoned baits will help you curb the problem. If, however, they have reproduced and seem to outnumber you, we can lend you a helping hand!

Often known as ‘white ants’, termites are creatures that play a vital role in biodegradation of dead plant material. The problem with termites is that they can ruin the wooden furnishings in your home. They can not only eat away your favourite chair or table, they can also cause a dangerous situation if your stairways or floors are made of wood.

Termites can work below the surface for years before you notice the damage they have done so it is important to call an expert as soon as you identify an infestation. At Pestoman, we undertake a thorough survey of your home and then begin treatment accorrdingly.

Pharaoh’s ants, garden ants, red fire ants, and more – coming in a variety of species, these tiny food foragers can invade every item of food and even dig out sand from under your flooring as they make themselves at home in yours!

Ant-killer sprays, when used directly over a line of ants or in cracks and openings through which they seem to be entering the rooms, are effective. However, if you feel that there is a large infestation under the flooring of your room which is inaccessible by you, it’s time to call the experts!

Flies, mosquitoes and other winged insects are a nuisance and also carriers of disease. While flies usually carry microbes from human and animal faeces which they later drop into your food, mosquitoes inject disease-causing microbes directly into your bloodstream. Either way, it is best to get rid of them and also find a way to make sure you cover possible entryways and clear out breeding grounds in and around your home.

With our deep understanding of these insect species, their habits and habitats, we can help you completely solve the problems caused by them in your home – without affecting the health of your family members or pets.

Bedbugs, although rare in recent times, can pose a serious problem if they make their way into your home. The most common way in which they make their way to your home is by hitchhiking on you during your travels. In addition to biting you and causing irritation while you sleep at night, bedbugs drink your blood and can also cause diseases!

Once they make themselves at home, it is extremely difficult to eradicate them. That’s why, at Pestoman, we have a specialised team of experts who will undertake a professional treatment of your home to get rid of an infestation – once and for all!
