Pests and properties in Free State
The Free State is grain country, with maize, wheat, sunflower and livestock farms around Bloemfontein, Bethlehem, Welkom, Kroonstad and Sasolburg. Silos, grain stores, feed mills and farm sheds attract rodents, weevils and moths, so grain store fumigation and rodent control are common requests. Summer storms bring termites, flying ants and flies, and cold dry winters push rats and mice into houses and flats. Bloemfontein has student housing, offices and hospitals, and Sasolburg and Welkom have industrial plants and mine hostels with regular programmes. Guesthouses along the N1 route book bed bug and cockroach treatment. Distances are long, so ask early and plan treatments before harvest.
Typical bird control requests in the area come from:
- Farms, grain stores and smallholdings: netting for packhouses and feed stores, and proofing pigeon roosts above grain and silo bins
- Homes and families: spikes on a garage lintel, mesh under solar panels and pigeons kept out of the roof void
- Factories, warehouses and mines: netting beneath high roof trusses, spikes on gantries and a clean-up of old guano
- 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
- Offices, schools, clinics and shops: spikes along building ledges, roof gutters and covered entrances to stop fouling
