A beetle certificate — formally known as an entomologist Certificate of Compliance (CoC) — confirms that a property is free from wood-destroying insects. It is required by most South African banks and bond originators before registering a bond or completing a property transfer. Verminator is a DAFF-registered operator offering fast, reliable inspections across Cape Town and the wider Western Cape.
Step 1
Call, WhatsApp, or use our online booking form to schedule your inspection at a time that suits you.
Step 2
A DAFF-registered technician inspects all accessible timber throughout the property — flooring, roof timbers, skirting boards, joinery, and structural timber. Typically 1–2 hours.
Step 3
You receive a comprehensive written report covering all findings, including any evidence of wood-destroying insect activity.
Step 4
If no active infestation is found, the Certificate of Compliance (CoC) is issued — usually within 24–48 hours. If evidence is found, treatment is recommended with a re-inspection thereafter.
