About KOVA Pest Control

Built on doing it properly, not doing it cheaply

KOVA has been on South African properties for thirteen years. Since 2022, it’s been under new ownership, with a qualified team, full licensing across pest control and waste management, and a straightforward promise: tell people the truth about their pest problem, fix it, and stand behind the work.

The Takeover

We didn't start from scratch, and that was the point

On SA properties

Buying an established business meant inheriting something more useful than a name: clients who’d already stayed for years. That was worth building on.

What came next was investment. Every technician on the team is qualified. KOVA carries full licensing for both pest control and waste management, so the same company that inspects your property is licensed to treat it and move the waste off it. The name stayed, and so did the clients. The standard behind it keeps climbing.

The Team

Four technicians. All qualified. No subcontractors.

We’ve kept the team small on purpose. Four qualified technicians means the person who inspects your property is the person who treats it, and usually the person who comes back if something needs another look.

It also means we can’t hide behind a call centre. When a client has been with us for three years across multiple buildings, it’s because the same people keep showing up and doing what they said they would.

How We Work

Three things we don't compromise on

We explain, we don't just spray

Knowing how a pest behaves is half the fix. We'll show you where it's breeding, what's feeding it, and what'll bring it back, because treatment alone only buys you time.

We tell you the truth, even when it isn't flattering

If the problem is the drain, the bins, or how the kitchen is being closed at night, we'll say so. It's an uncomfortable five minutes that saves everyone a wasted return visit.

We're easy to deal with

Straight quotes, on-time arrivals, and technicians who are pleasant to have in your home or business.

Our Values

Ambition

We want to be the outfit other companies are compared to.
