Mostert Pest Control

What Mostert Pest Control does

Mostert Pest Control is a Pretoria-headquartered, privately held pest management company founded in 2003 that delivers extermination, fumigation, disinfection, and integrated pest management (IPM) services to residential, commercial, and industrial customers across South Africa and Mozambique. The company operates through a franchise branch model with at least 15 branches covering all nine South African provinces plus an international branch in Mozambique, with franchisees receiving 24/7 support, training, and brand systems from the head office. Its core technology stack centres on Integrated Pest Management (IPM) under HACCP guidelines, Field Pest Biologist services staffed by NQF Level 5-qualified personnel, eco-friendly treatment methods, and a pesticide-free virus/bacteria disinfection offering using micro-droplet fogging.

The company's service portfolio spans ant, cockroach, rodent, termite, bird, and snake control, soil poisoning for pre-construction termite prevention, fumigation, and a Grass Booster add-on service. Named enterprise customers include KFC, Steers, Ocean Basket, Chicken Licken, King I-Lato, LactoLab, SPAR, the South African Reserve Bank, Absa, Sheraton, and the Nelson Mandela Foundation, suggesting meaningful presence in food service, food manufacturing, banking, hospitality, and retail verticals where HACCP compliance is a recurring need. Mostert is registered with SAPCA (AMP 010), the NPMA, and the South African Department of Agriculture (MOS 0097). The company generates revenue through one-off treatments, professional disinfection services, and recurring contract packages offering 25–40% discounts for bi-monthly or quarterly service, with no call-out fees and a guarantee on services rendered. Pricing is quote-based rather than publicly disclosed.
