About the Bug Bounty SA blog

The Bug Bounty SA blog shares practical pest control advice for South African homes, gardens and businesses. Our articles explain why pests appear when they do, how to prevent an infestation before it starts, and how to choose and use the right product for the problem you have.

What we write about

You will find guides on getting rid of cockroaches and ants in the kitchen, keeping rats and mice out of the roof and storeroom, controlling flies around bins, restaurants and livestock, and protecting your garden from pests. Seasonal articles cover the problems that come with the rainy season, summer heat and winter, when many pests move indoors.

Using products safely

Every registered pest control product comes with a label that sets out how much to use, where to use it and which precautions to take. Our articles always point back to the label, and we explain how to use products responsibly around children, pets, food areas and water sources.

Ask us a question

If you have a pest problem that is not covered here, send us a WhatsApp with a photo and a short description. Your question may also become the topic of a future article. You can browse the shop for the products mentioned in each article, and sign up for our newsletter to receive new tips and monthly specials by email.

New articles

We add new articles to the blog as the seasons change and as customers ask new questions. Recent topics include preparing your home and garden for the rainy season, the benefits of regular pest control, and choosing the right insecticide for crawling and flying insects.

From the blog to the shop

Each article links to the products it mentions, so you can go straight from the advice to the right product. If a product is out of stock, we will suggest an alternative that does the same job. Bookmark the blog and check back each season for new tips and guides from our team.
