Pests and properties in KwaZulu-Natal
KwaZulu-Natal has a warm, humid subtropical coast, and that heat suits German and American cockroaches, termites, mosquitoes, ants and bed bugs. Durban, Umhlanga, Ballito and the South Coast have apartments, holiday rentals, guesthouses, restaurants and hotels that need regular treatment, especially in the summer season. The port of Durban and Richards Bay handle many export containers, so container fumigation is part of the local trade. Inland, Pietermaritzburg and the Midlands have older timber homes, farms and food processors, and sugar cane and timber areas have rodent problems. Peaks run from October to March, and mosquito advice in malaria areas should come from a qualified person.
Typical cockroach control requests in the area come from:
- Homes and families: a gel bait treatment of the kitchen and bathrooms, with a follow-up visit after three weeks
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: quiet night-time treatments of kitchens, laundries and rooms for guesthouses and hotels
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: treatment between tenants and across a whole block, so roaches do not move from unit to unit
- Restaurants and food businesses: bait stations, crack treatment and records for restaurants, takeaways and bakeries facing an audit
- Exporters and freight forwarders: warehouses and cold stores checked so stored cargo stays clear of roaches
- Factories, warehouses and mines: canteens, loading areas and drains treated, with cardboard storage moved off the floor
- Farms, grain stores and smallholdings: farm kitchens, packhouse canteens and worker housing treated with baits
- Offices, schools, clinics and shops: tea rooms, canteens and storerooms treated after hours with low-odour baits
