How to Keep Your Home Pest-Free This Summer – Expert Tips from AJ’s & Sons

Dry skeleton of the nymph of the cicada insect, monstrous-looking, empty after its metamophosis.

When temperatures rise, pests become more active, seeking water, food, and shelter inside your home or business. From ants and cockroaches to rats and mosquitoes, infestations can develop quickly if left unchecked.

To help you stay ahead of the problem, here are expert summer pest-prevention tips from the AJ’s & Sons Pest Control Cape Town team:

🐜 1. Seal Entry Points

Inspect your windows, doors, and foundations for cracks or gaps. Even a few millimetres are enough for ants, cockroaches, and rodents to slip through.

🧹 2. Keep It Clean

Summer heat makes food spoil faster. Always wipe counters, empty bins, and store dry goods in airtight containers to avoid attracting pests.

💧 3. Remove Standing Water

Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water. Clear gutters, plant pots, and pet bowls regularly — essential if you live in Cape Town’s Northern Suburbs.

🪳 4. Schedule Regular Inspections

Don’t wait for pests to appear. Regular visits from our local pest exterminators keep your property secure. We offer affordable pest control services in Cape Town with pet-friendly fumigation and rodent extermination options.
