Unlike most companies that use harsher chemicals that are banned throughout most the world. We at Johannesburg Pest Control use safer chemicals, registered with the department of agriculture for Mosquito Control . These chemicals prove more effective but aren’t used as often as they aren’t as cost effective as their more harmful counterparts. We spare no expense ensuring the safety of our clients and that of the environment.
