🌟 The Story Behind Edwin Pest & Cleaning Services 🌟
Edwin Pest & Cleaning Services was founded by Edwin Ramatsitsi, an entrepreneur who is also the owner of NationRise Academy, a respected online and private tutoring institution in South Africa. While Edwin’s background is rooted in education and empowerment, the journey into pest control and professional cleaning was born from a real-life problem that many families silently struggle with.
A Real Problem That Sparked a Real Solution
When Edwin moved to Protea Glen, he quickly noticed that something was wrong. Neighbours were constantly complaining about rats, and the property he moved into had been left in an unacceptable condition by the previous tenant. The house was dirty, dusty, and infested with cockroaches, while the yard showed clear signs of rat activity.
This was not just about discomfort — it was about health, safety, and peace of mind.
Rats are not just pests; they are destructive and dangerous. They can contaminate living spaces, spread diseases, and even damage vehicles by chewing electrical cables, leading to costly repairs and safety risks. For families parking their cars at home, this becomes a serious concern.
It became clear that this was not an isolated case. Many people moving into homes around Soweto face similar challenges:
Dirty properties left by previous tenants
Heavy dust after renovations
Cockroach and rodent infestations
Unsafe and unhygienic living environments
Yet, despite these challenges, the area itself was peaceful and full of potential.
Choosing Action Over Fear
Instead of running away or accepting the situation, Edwin chose to take control.
He cleaned the house thoroughly, dealt with the pests properly, cleared and restored the yard, and turned the property into a safe, clean, and welcoming space.
That experience changed everything.
It revealed a major gap: many people need professional cleaning and pest control services when moving in, renovating, or trying to protect their homes — but don’t know who to trust.
This is where the idea for Edwin Pest & Cleaning Services was born.
A Business Built on Purpose, Not Chance
The vision was simple but powerful:
Everyone deserves to live in a clean, hygienic, safe environment — and to enjoy peace of mind in their own home.
Whether it’s a family moving into a new house, a homeowner finishing renovations, or someone dealing with rats, cockroaches, or deep-seated dirt, the need is the same: a professional solution done properly.
Renovation dust, especially cement dust, is one of the most overlooked problems in homes. It settles deep into furniture, sofas, and surfaces. On materials like leather, dust is especially harmful — it scratches, dries out the surface, causes cracking, and shortens the life of furniture if not cleaned correctly.
This is why Edwin Pest & Cleaning Services focuses on deep cleaning, not surface cleaning. We remove dust, dirt, and pests at the source — restoring homes and furniture back to life.
Serving the Community, One Home at a Time
What started as a personal solution soon became a service to the community.
Families began calling. Homes needed cleaning. Yards needed clearing. Sofas needed restoration. Rats and cockroaches needed to be eliminated.
With every job completed, one thing became clear:
People don’t just want a clean home — they want peace of mind.
Today, Edwin Pest & Cleaning Services has helped many households improve hygiene, protect their property, and enjoy healthier living spaces. From move-in cleaning and post-renovation cleaning to pest control and deep furniture cleaning, the goal remains the same:
Restore cleanliness
Protect homes
Improve quality of life
