In routine programmes, our sprays are odourless (residual, crack-and-crevice, and perimeter work—label-directed), and our insect baits are odourless in normal service use. Verminator remains bait-led and colony-focused: gel baits, secured stations, proven movement, and crack-and-crevice placement—not unnecessary blanket spraying. Nest-directed or targeted applications follow inspection; broadcast interior spraying is not our default first line.
Ant programmes. Published positioning for ants includes “Odourless applications only; no vacating.” Where the site calls for perimeter protection, odourless pyrethroid perimeter barriers may be used where label-directed. Read the national ant hub and the step-by-step ant treatment methodology.
Cockroach programmes. Published positioning includes “no vacating; no unpacking.” For German cockroaches, odourless applications apply where the programme specifies. Viral transfer for German cockroach baiting at concealed transfer points is how gel-led programmes earn colony-scale impact—not dramatic interior fogging as the headline. Start from the cockroach hub and cockroach treatment methodology.

“Safe around your family and pets” is a process claim: how we place product, where we place it, what we ask you to move or ventilate, and how we sequence work—not a guarantee that every surface is inert the second we leave.
Your technician will advise when treated areas may be re-entered, and treated surfaces should be dry before contact where applicable. The operational before/during/after protocol lives on pest control safety—use it as your checklist for every visit type.
Verminator does not apply veterinary medicines.
Verminator does not prescribe pet medicines unless expressly in writing.
For flea and tick programmes, indoor guarantee conditions require suitable vet-approved on-animal protection. The treatment targets the indoor environment; the pet must be protected separately.
Full conditions and cooperation expectations: pet parasite protection guarantee.
Your written quote and service agreement prevail.
Most residential insect work stays low-scent because sprays and insect baits are odourless in service—rodent bait is the common vanilla exception, and mole solvent or gas methods are explicitly not odourless. Not every specialist programme matches the same profile as routine ants or cockroaches. The list below is for heat, adulticides, wasps, and similar—not wood borer injection, which is odourless as applied.
Practical answers—always alongside your technician's visit-specific instructions.
The Cape Floristic Region is one of the world's six floral kingdoms — over 9,000 plant species, the majority found nowhere else on Earth. Pest control in the Western Cape requires a different standard of product selection and placement than inland programmes.
This approach reflects our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) philosophy — least-toxic-effective, targeted, and ecosystem-aware. Read more about our IPM methodology →
Verminator designs treatments around the pest, the property, and the people living there—label-led, inspection-led, and movement-aware—so you get clarity on scent, access, and cooperation without theatrics.
