Pests and properties in East London
East London has a humid, warm coastal climate with rain in most months, so cockroaches, ants, termites, mosquitoes and rodents are active for long periods. Flats, homes and takeaways in Quigney, Vincent, Nahoon and Beacon Bay, guesthouses along the coast, and rental housing in Mdantsane often need cockroach, bed bug and rodent treatment. The port and the industrial development zone handle exports and imports, so container fumigation and cargo treatment are sometimes needed. Motor industry suppliers, food processors and warehouses on the Buffalo River side use regular contracts. Dairy and pineapple farms nearby also call for rodent and insect control. Teams usually work from East London or Gonubie.
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
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: gardens, braai areas, pool equipment and kitchens treated without upsetting guests
- Restaurants and food businesses: bait placed away from food zones, with records of each visit for the audit file
- Factories, warehouses and mines: control panels, loading bays and paved yards treated with dusts and baits
- Exporters and freight forwarders: yards, pack houses and warehouse walls checked so ants do not get into stored cargo
- Offices, schools, clinics and shops: break rooms, reception areas and server cupboards treated with dusts and gels
