Pests and properties in Limpopo
Limpopo is hot for much of the year, which suits termites, mosquitoes, cockroaches, ants and snakes. Polokwane, Tzaneen, Mokopane and Musina have houses, flats, student housing and fast-growing commercial areas, while game lodges and guesthouses around the Waterberg and Kruger gateways need discreet treatment for bed bugs, cockroaches and flies. Farms grow citrus, mangoes, tomatoes and maize, so packhouses, cold stores and grain stores need rodent and stored product pest control. Mines in the Bushveld and Mopani areas run hostels and canteens that need regular programmes. In malaria areas, ask a qualified person about mosquito control, and expect pests to peak after the summer rains.
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
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: keeping pigeons off terraces, entrance canopies and outdoor dining areas without harming them
- 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
- Exporters and freight forwarders: keeping birds out of container depots and sheds where droppings could contaminate stored cargo
