Soil poisoning on the South Coast
We run the South Coast from Amanzimtoti and Kingsburgh down through Umkomaas, Scottburgh and Hibberdene, and on to Port Shepstone and Margate for larger projects.

Why it matters in Amanzimtoti & the South Coast
The South Coast carries the same high coastal termite pressure as the rest of the KZN seaboard, and it has a growing share of retirement and holiday development — much of it timber-heavy, which is exactly what subterranean termites are after.
What we watch for on Amanzimtoti & the South Coast sites
The further down the coast a site is, the more sense it makes to book ahead so we can group it with other work rather than charging you for a dedicated trip. Travel is charged on actual round-trip distance, so a scheduled run genuinely costs you less.

Pre-construction or post-construction?
If the slab hasn’t been cast, you’re in the cheap version of this job. If it has, we can still help.
Pre-construction
Treated before the slab is cast. Full footprint, unbroken barrier, roughly 90% cheaper than doing it later.
How it worksPost-construction
For buildings already up, additions, or where termites have already appeared. Drill, inject and trench.

How long does it take to get my certificate?
Your certificate is issued within 12 hours of the treatment being completed and payment being received. In most cases we email it the same working day. If your inspection is booked for the following morning, tell us when you book and we’ll prioritise the paperwork so nothing on site is held up.
Settling the invoice on the day is the one thing that keeps the clock running — so if the certificate is urgent, get the payment away as soon as you have the invoice and we will do the rest.
How much does soil poisoning cost?
Pricing is based on the square meterage to be treated, site access, and whether the job is pre-construction or post-construction. Pre-construction is dramatically cheaper because the soil is open and accessible.
There is a price calculator on our cost page that will give you a rough figure in about ten seconds — it runs on our real rates. Treat it as an estimate: we still quote in writing with the scope spelled out, and plenty of jobs come in cheaper once we have seen the drawing.
What's the difference between pre-construction and post-construction treatment?
Pre-construction treatment happens before the slab is cast, while the soil is open. We treat the entire footprint and the trenches, creating an unbroken barrier under the whole building. It’s thorough and inexpensive because nothing has to be drilled or lifted.
Post-construction treatment is done on a building that already exists. It involves drilling through the slab or paving at intervals and injecting termiticide, or trenching around the perimeter. It works, but it costs considerably more and is harder to make continuous.
If your slab hasn’t been cast, book pre-construction. It’s the single biggest cost saving available on this job.
Do you service my area?
We cover every square metre of KwaZulu-Natal from our Hillcrest base — the Upper Highway, the Durban metro, the North and South Coasts, the Midlands, and up into Zululand and northern KZN. If you are anywhere in the province, we service you as standard.
We also take work in Johannesburg and Gauteng. Anything outside KwaZulu-Natal is quoted per project rather than off our standard travel rate, so send us the site details and we will come back with a firm figure.
