Pests and properties in Johannesburg

Johannesburg is a large, mixed city, so pest work varies widely from one area to the next. Older suburbs such as Parkview, Melville and Observatory have timber floors and roof voids where borers, rodents and flying ants settle, while the dense flats of Hillbrow, Berea and Yeoville struggle with cockroaches, rodents and bed bugs. The inner city and southern industrial areas have food outlets, warehouses and workshops that need regular programmes and compliance certificates. Harvester termites and flying ants appear after the first Highveld summer rains, usually from October. Property managers, body corporates, landlords, restaurants and offices are the usual callers, and many pest control teams work across the whole metro.
