Pests and properties in Eastern Cape
The Eastern Cape runs from the temperate coast around Gqeberha and East London to the dry Karoo and the green Wild Coast. Coastal humidity favours cockroaches, ants, termites and bed bugs in homes, flats, guesthouses and holiday rentals, while the Karoo brings rodents, snakes and scorpions. The ports of Gqeberha, Ngqura (Coega) and East London handle vehicles, citrus and other exports, so container fumigation and warehouse treatment are common. Makhanda and Gqeberha have student housing, and Gqeberha and East London have food factories and motor plants that need regular programmes. Citrus farms in the Sundays River valley and livestock farms inland book rodent and fly control. Peaks follow the warmer months.
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
- Exporters and freight forwarders: yards, pack houses and warehouse walls checked so ants do not get into stored cargo
- 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
- Farms, grain stores and smallholdings: farm stores, dairy sheds and orchards treated, including ants that tend aphids on crops
