Pests and properties in Potchefstroom

Student housing and rental flats in Baillie Park, Van der Hoff Park and near the campus lead the demand, mostly for cockroaches, bed bugs and ants, with landlords booking treatment between tenants. Old sandstone and timber roofs in the historic centre invite wood borer and termites, and the river and gardens bring flies and mosquitoes in summer.

Operators serve the town locally and from Klerksdorp and Johannesburg.
