Sound familiar?
You're struggling to find stable work, and the job market isn't making it any easier.
You're tired of trading hours for a salary that never quite stretches far enough.
Or maybe you already know pest control is a business worth getting into β you just don't know where to start, legally.
The pest control industry in South Africa keeps growing β pests don't take a recession off. But almost nobody explains how to register as a Pest Control Officer, what the legal requirements actually are, or how to turn that registration into real income. That's the gap this session closes.
Pest control isn't optional β for anyone
Every home, restaurant, hotel, and warehouse in the country eventually needs pest control. It's one of the few trades that never runs out of demand. Most people trying to enter the industry either skip the legal groundwork and operate informally β which is risky β or get stuck in the confusion stage and never start at all. This session removes that confusion, step by step.
Exactly what you'll learn
No fluff, no filler β the same process we wish someone had explained to us when we started.
- How to register as a Pest Control Officer (PCO) β the real steps, not just the theory
- How to structure and start your own pest control business
- What equipment, chemicals and safety gear you'll actually need to get going
- How to land your first paying clients
- Straight-from-the-field industry knowledge, from people who run pest control jobs every week
Built for four kinds of people
What you actually get
- Live training on Microsoft Teams β ask questions in real time
- A step-by-step registration checklist to follow afterwards
- A business start-up roadmap β structure, pricing, first clients
- Straight talk on the industry β what works, not textbook theory

Real industry knowledge
Straight-from-the-field insight you won't find at a classroom-only academy.
Please note: this session teaches you the complete registration and business set-up process β it does not, on its own, issue your official PCO registration certificate.
Run by people who actually do this for a living
This academy is run by the same team behind Mpumelelo Pest Control β founded by a woman who entered the industry in 2021 after her brother first introduced her to pest control as a door-to-door township business. She took that idea and formalised it into an accredited, registered pest control company β and built this training to hand the same roadmap to the next generation of PCOs, including more women in a trade that's long been dominated by men.
This session is just step one
Once you know how to register, the real question becomes: how do you run a profitable pest control business β pricing jobs, winning contracts, staying compliant, and growing past just you? During the live session, you'll get the option to join our full Pest Control Business Builder course, where we walk you through that entire journey. Full details β including pricing β are shared live, on the night. This page won't push it on you before you've even seen the free training.
