Termites Work in Silence. The Damage They Leave Behind Does Not
Termites are one of the most destructive pests in South Africa, and the most dangerous thing about them is that they operate completely out of sight. By the time structural damage becomes visible, hollow sounding wood, buckling floors, crumbling door frames, or mud tunnels along walls, termites have often been active for months or even years. At Khera Care, our licensed pest control operators conduct thorough termite inspections that go beyond the surface, identifying active colonies, assessing the extent of damage, and determining the most effective treatment approach for your specific situation.
We provide pre-construction soil treatment for new builds, protecting the structure from the ground up before the foundation is laid, and post-construction treatment for existing properties where termite activity has been identified or suspected. We also provide formal inspection reports for property transfers, giving buyers and sellers the documentation they need to proceed with confidence. We serve homeowners, property developers, estate agents, and commercial property owners across Gauteng and surrounding Provinces.

Two Properties. Two Different Approaches. One Standard of Work
Pre-construction termite treatment is the most effective and cost efficient way to protect a new building. Before the foundation slab is poured, we treat the soil with a registered termiticide that creates a chemical barrier between the ground and the structure above. This barrier prevents subterranean termites from tunnelling upward into the timber and materials of the building once construction is complete. Getting this treatment right at the building stage is significantly cheaper than dealing with a termite infestation after occupation and in many cases it is a requirement for compliance with South African building regulations and NHBRC standards.
For existing properties, we conduct a detailed inspection before recommending any treatment. Depending on the species identified, the extent of the infestation, and the construction type of the property, we may recommend a liquid chemical barrier, a baiting system, or a combination of both. All termiticides used by Khera Care are registered with and approved by the relevant South African regulatory authorities. We also provide formal written inspection reports and pre-sale pest certificates, which are frequently required during property transfer processes. If you are buying, selling, or developing property in Gauteng, contact us to discuss what documentation and treatment your situation requires.
