Subterranean Termites
Bloemfontein is considered a high risk area for termite problems. Subterranean termites (also referred to as "flying ants") replace any wood taken with soil from the excavation of their nest, meaning that they have to constantly return to their nest.Think you have a Termite problem?
Apart from servicing local businesses and homes, Rentokil in Bloemfontein focuses on commercial silos and outlying farming areas with a need for expert pest control services due to exporting produce and/or goods.

Rodents
The environmental conditions in Bloemfontein and areas around the Free State contribute to rodent infestation. They tend to be a problem for farmlands too. This is especially concerning as rodents pose many health risks to your family or business spreading diseases such as E.coli and Weil's disease to name a few.Are rats getting into your home?
“Rats are more than capable of fitting into space the size of a coin. Their bodies contain soft cartilage which makes it possible for them to squeeze through spaces and gaps that at first glance may appear much too small for them. Small cracks or holes in floors, sidewalk grates or vents are an easy way to get to a warm area.” - Rentokil’s Technical Manager, Mario Pluke.
