Pests and properties in Mthatha
Mthatha lies in a hilly part of the Eastern Cape with warm, wet summers and mild winters. Cockroaches, rodents, flies and ants are the most common complaints in shops, eateries, clinics and homes in the town and surrounding villages, and bed bugs are found in crowded rental rooms and some lodgings. Termites damage timber, roofing and fence poles, and snakes are common in grass and around homesteads in summer. Hospitals, schools, government offices and the university campus call for scheduled treatments, and food sellers need clean premises for inspections. Farms and homesteads keep maize and livestock, so rodent control matters. Teams often travel in from Mthatha, East London or Gqeberha.

- Offices, schools, clinics and shops: spikes along building ledges, roof gutters and covered entrances to stop fouling
- Restaurants and food businesses: netting over loading bays and delivery areas, with cleaning records for food safety audits
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: proofing balconies and roof edges in complexes where droppings foul washing lines and walkways
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: keeping pigeons off terraces, entrance canopies and outdoor dining areas without harming them
- Farms, grain stores and smallholdings: netting for packhouses and feed stores, and proofing pigeon roosts above grain and silo bins
