Why is Fumigation Cape Town commonly mistaken.
In the good old days where smoking was thought to be healthy and gas guzzling motor vehicles were still cool. Pest Control Companies would use Cyanide or DDT to kill pretty much any unwanted guest. These products were cheap and readily available. Not much thought was given on the environmental impact these substances cause. Non-target casualties and Birth Defects were the order of the day.
As of recent times we no longer use gasses and Organophosphates to treat pests. Skilled Pest Controllers study infestations, activity level and treat every pest individually. With special insecticides that target a certain group of insects this is no longer a fumigation. Sprays are low-odor and no longer diffuse through walls and carpets. More controlled means are used for minimal staining and cross contamination.

Pest Control Cape Town believe that such fumigation should only be carried out as a last resort.
