Trusted protection for every home and business on Johannesburg’s eastern ridge
Bedfordview is celebrated for its leafy avenues, clay-rich soils and high-value properties, yet those same qualities create ideal conditions for subterranean termite colonies. Moist soil, mature trees and a warm Highveld climate allow worker termites to forage more than fifty metres from their nests, slipping beneath patios, swimming-pool paving, timber decks and cavity walls long before any damage is visible. Many owners in Oriel, Senderwood and Morninghill only discover an infestation when doorframes warp, parquet floors feel spongy or mud tubes appear on garden walls.
Termicon has safeguarded Bedfordview properties since 2018 and the owner is a third generation operator who has been in the field since 2001. Our SAPCA-registered technicians combine radar-guided inspections with SABS-approved termiticide to eliminate colonies at their source and create a protective soil barrier that lasts for years. Because we are based minutes away in Edenvale, a same-day visit is always possible, even during R24 peak traffic.
Why Bedfordview homes are at higher risk
The suburb sits on clay that retains moisture after summer thunderstorms, pushing soil humidity above the twenty-five-percent threshold subterranean species prefer. Mature oak and jacaranda roots offer natural highways into foundations, and many older dwellings rely on untreated pine roof trusses installed in the 1960s. Cluster developments on Van Buuren Road and in Bedford Gardens add expansion-joint gaps where termites can enter undetected. In short, Bedfordview delivers the perfect mix of food, moisture and shelter that drives rapid colony growth.

Warranty and monitoring
We offer options ranging from entry level (problem area options to 10 year warrantee options on buildings)
Early signs of a Bedfordview infestation
Mud tubes on foundation walls, blistering paint on skirting boards, discarded wings near light fittings after the first rains, papery-sounding window sills and hollow tree bark are all red flags. Act promptly if any of these symptoms appear. A mature colony can compromise structural timber by more than sixty per cent in under three years, and cosmetic repairs rarely address the nest itself.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to leave the property during treatment?
No. Application takes place outside or through drilled points in the slab, and Specialised products are odourless once dry. Normal ventilation is sufficient, so you may remain at home.
Is the treatment safe for pets and gardens?
Yes. The termiticide binds tightly to soil particles in under an hour and remains below the root zone of most ornamental plants. Pets are safe once the treated area has dried.
How soon can I water my lawn?
Heavy irrigation should wait seventy-two hours to ensure optimal chemical bonding.
