Pests and properties in Upington
Upington lies on the Orange River in the hot Kalahari, where irrigated vineyards, date palms and raisin farms sit beside red desert sand. Rodents follow crops and dried fruit into sheds and packing houses, birds nest on roofs and in lofts, and cockroaches and ants thrive in the heat in town homes and lodges. Snakes and scorpions are common near the river and in gardens. Raisin, grape and date exporters need fumigation and pest records for their buyers, and guesthouses and lodges around Kakamas and Keimoes book regular service. Winters are short and dry, so summer is the peak. Operators work from Upington and cover the river valley, with some coming from Kimberley.
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
- Exporters and freight forwarders: keeping birds out of container depots and sheds where droppings could contaminate stored cargo
- 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
- 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
- Factories, warehouses and mines: netting beneath high roof trusses, spikes on gantries and a clean-up of old guano
