Our hygiene services include regular monthly maintenance for businesses with public restrooms and the like or BIG projects that require a once-off super-clean such as when the skies open and dump tons of water in a matter of hours on a town. Mud or Mildew - we are happy to clean all.

The world's deadliest animals, in terms of annual human fatalities, are not those we typically associate with fear, like lions or snakes. In fact, mosquitoes claim the top spot, responsible for approximately one million deaths each year. This far surpasses the 100,000 deaths attributed to snakes and the mere 250 caused by lions. Surprisingly, dogs rank third among the most lethal creatures to humans, causing about 30,000 deaths annually. Most of these fatalities are linked to rabies, transmitted through dog bites.

"What counts most is not the size of the dog in th

"What counts most is not the size of the dog in the fight - it's the amount of fight in the dog"
Who remembers the most strange year ever: 2020?
We knew it was BIG when we were called in to treat the entire Shark's Stadium prior to the last public sports event for that year! Microbial fogging for the tiniest pathogen with a global consequence!

Supermarkets underwent microbial fogging the moment a single case was found. We were called in to manage small businesses and large alike; whatever it took to keep the economy moving. It was our heartwrenching honor to serve in that endevour. And serve we did! 24 hours in a day were barely enough! Our teams worked back-to-back 24/7.

We still fight the smallest pests on the planet (mumps, measles, meningitis in boarding houses, schools and office blocks) but we also fight the large: rats and reptiles, cockroaches, ants, flies, bedbugs and beyond.

Summer tends to bring out the best for most - but a few scary critters too!
#Snakes are more proliferate during the warmer months. You may find them slithering through long grasses or (as one of our clients found) across the reception floor!
Snakes are attracted primarily to food sources (rats and mice) but can pop in to cool down on a hot day too. Our teams have dealt with a Mozambiquan Spitting Cobra at a primary school (the rather long chap found the rodent trap boxes particularly attractive), a green mamba slumbering on a homeowners' curtain rod and this little rock python in an office block.
All were handled with the professionalism we use on all our call outs: calmly, fealessly and judicisiously relocated to more appropriate environments.

Get the attention and dedication of a small busine

Get the attention and dedication of a small business owner - with the acumen of a national company behind him!
Service Master has been doing this for DECADES now. We have learnt more than a thing or two along the way😉
Our 'bug patrollers' are all carefully selected and trained in more than what a pestcontroller learns in a book. Some thing work - some things work BETTER. We lean on the latter. We share with our franchisors the tricks and tools of the trade we have picked up along the way - so our customers get the benefit of working with a business man from WITHIN their community with the professional expertise of a nationally situated corporate behind them.

𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗘𝗖𝗧 𝗙𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗦 - 𝗭𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀. Did you know that the jewel wasp turns cockroaches into real-life zombies? 🧟‍♂️ This sinister insect injects venom into a cockroach's brain, taking away its ability to escape. The wasp then leads the zombified roach to its nest, where it becomes a living meal for the wasp’s larvae. A chilling reminder that even in nature, the stuff of nightmares is very real!

She asks me to kill the spider.
Instead, I get the most
peaceful weapons I can find.
I take a cup and a napkin.
I catch the spider, put it outside
and allow it to walk away.
If I am ever caught in the wrong place
at the wrong time, just being alive
and not bothering anyone,
I hope I am greeted
with the same kind of mercy.
- Rudy Francisco

Our expert pest control solutions will banish these unwanted guests for good. With the summer heat fast approaching, cockroaches will start breeding even more prolifically. They are already at epidemic levels in most of our cities due to the general filth, garbage and ineffective waste removal services. They also fly into our homes and work places, and if you have seen one cockroach in the daytime, you must know that there are many, many more just out of sight, hiding in the cracks & crevices, just waiting for night-time when you turn off the lights and leave the office or go to bed. Don’t let these creepy-crawlies terrorise you any longer—contact Service Master today and enjoy a fright-free home & office!
