Pests and properties in Welkom
Welkom is a goldfields town on the flat northern Free State plain, with hot summers, cold dry winters and large farms of maize and sunflower around it. Rodents follow grain and feed into stores and homes, and cockroaches and ants are constant in kitchens and flats. Mine hostels, compounds, guesthouses and rental rooms in Thabong and Virginia need bulk cockroach, bed bug and rat control. Ageing buildings and empty properties bring pigeons and rodents, so bird proofing and cleaning are common requests. Farmers book grain store and silo fumigation after harvest. Operators serve the area from Welkom itself and from Bloemfontein, with Klerksdorp crews sometimes covering the north.
Typical bed bug treatment requests in the area come from:
- Factories, warehouses and mines: mine hostels and worker accommodation treated in blocks with repeat inspections
- Homes and families: a bedroom treatment with a mattress encasement and a second visit about two weeks later
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: treatment between tenants and neighbouring units, with a report for the lease file
- Farms, grain stores and smallholdings: farm worker housing and seasonal staff rooms treated in rotation
- Restaurants and food businesses: staff accommodation and rest areas checked, away from the kitchen and stores
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: room and adjoining-room treatments, with an inspection log for hotels, lodges and guesthouses
- Offices, schools, clinics and shops: waiting rooms, couches and sleeping quarters inspected and treated discreetly
