Pests and properties in Durban
Durban has a humid subtropical climate, warm for most of the year, and that suits German and American cockroaches, ants, termites, mosquitoes and rodents. Flats along the Berea and the beachfront, rental complexes in Umhlanga and Westville, restaurants, hotels and guesthouses call pest controllers all year. Older timber roofs and garden trees in suburbs such as Morningside and Glenwood attract subterranean termites. Durban is also the busiest container port in the country, so exporters and importers ask about container and cargo fumigation, usually to meet the destination country's rules. Pest control and fumigation teams usually work from across the metro and the southern industrial areas.
Typical bird control requests in the area come from:
- Homes and families: spikes on a garage lintel, mesh under solar panels and pigeons kept out of the roof void
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: proofing balconies and roof edges in complexes where droppings foul washing lines and walkways
- Restaurants and food businesses: netting over loading bays and delivery areas, with cleaning records for food safety audits
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: keeping pigeons off terraces, entrance canopies and outdoor dining areas without harming them
- Exporters and freight forwarders: keeping birds out of container depots and sheds where droppings could contaminate stored cargo
- Factories, warehouses and mines: netting beneath high roof trusses, spikes on gantries and a clean-up of old guano
- Offices, schools, clinics and shops: spikes along building ledges, roof gutters and covered entrances to stop fouling
