Pests and properties in Ladysmith

Ladysmith lies on the Klip River in the dry Thukela basin, with hot summers, thunderstorms and mild, dry winters. Rodents, cockroaches and ants are the main complaints in homes, shops and eateries, and termites affect older buildings and fence posts. Flats and rental rooms in Ezakheni and Steadville see bed bugs and cockroaches where housing is dense. The town serves a wide farming district, so grain stores, feed sheds, poultry houses and cattle farms ask about rodent and insect control, and snakes are a worry around farm yards and gardens in warm months. Pest control teams usually come from Ladysmith, Newcastle or Pietermaritzburg and plan farm visits in advance.
