Treatment Methods & Costs
💧 Gel Bait Treatment
R1,150 - R1,500
Most effective method. Cockroaches eat the gel and spread poison to the colony. Lasts 3-6 months.
🔫 Spray Treatment
R1,000 - R1,400
Quick knockdown of visible roaches. Good for immediate relief. Needs reapplication every 4-8 weeks.
🔄 Maintenance Contract
R600 - R1,000/month
Monthly visits for ongoing protection. Best for restaurants, hotels, and properties with recurring issues.
Why Professional Treatment is Worth It
While DIY sprays cost R50-R200, they only kill visible cockroaches. Professional treatments target the entire colony, including eggs, providing long-term elimination rather than temporary relief.

How many treatments are needed?

Professional gel baits are applied in cracks and crevices where pets can't access them. They're much safer than spray treatments.
How long until I see results?
You'll see a significant reduction within 1-2 weeks. Complete elimination typically takes 3-6 weeks depending on infestation size.
Do I need to leave my home during treatment?
For gel treatments, no. For spray treatments, you may need to vacate for 2-4 hours while surfaces dry.
