Your Partner Across Homes & Businesses
70+ branches. Three industry bodies. One standard. Southern Africa’s largest owner-operated pest control, cleaning and hygiene network and still growing on the right values.

For Homes

You want a living space that’s safe for children and pets, clean for your family gatherings and worry-free when it comes to service or maintenance.

For Business

When the environment demands precision, whether in a HACCP food facility, healthcare environment or multi-site retail operation, it demands a Specialist. Not a call centre, but a local owner with national backing and everything to prove.
What started as a single branch has become the most trusted specialist network in Southern Africa, not by expanding quickly, but by expanding correctly..
