Pests and properties in Durban
Durban has a humid subtropical climate, warm for most of the year, and that suits German and American cockroaches, ants, termites, mosquitoes and rodents. Flats along the Berea and the beachfront, rental complexes in Umhlanga and Westville, restaurants, hotels and guesthouses call pest controllers all year. Older timber roofs and garden trees in suburbs such as Morningside and Glenwood attract subterranean termites. Durban is also the busiest container port in the country, so exporters and importers ask about container and cargo fumigation, usually to meet the destination country's rules. Pest control and fumigation teams usually work from across the metro and the southern industrial areas.
Typical ant control requests in the area come from:
- Homes and families: a kitchen bait treatment with a perimeter spray and nest drenching in the garden
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: a treatment before a new tenant arrives, with a follow-up visit for returning trails
- Restaurants and food businesses: bait placed away from food zones, with records of each visit for the audit file
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: gardens, braai areas, pool equipment and kitchens treated without upsetting guests
- Exporters and freight forwarders: yards, pack houses and warehouse walls checked so ants do not get into stored cargo
- Factories, warehouses and mines: control panels, loading bays and paved yards treated with dusts and baits
- Offices, schools, clinics and shops: break rooms, reception areas and server cupboards treated with dusts and gels
