Pests and properties in Mpumalanga
Mpumalanga mixes a warm, frost-light Lowveld with a cooler Highveld, so the pests differ across the province. Around Mbombela, White River and Hazyview, heat and humidity favour termites, mosquitoes, cockroaches and snakes, and guesthouses and lodges often need bed bug and cockroach treatment. Citrus, subtropical fruit and vegetable farms and packhouses face rodents and stored product pests, while maize farms on the Highveld need silo and grain store treatment. Mining and power towns such as eMalahleni, Secunda and Middelburg have hostels, canteens and workshops with rodent and cockroach problems. Peaks follow the rainy season from October to March, and in malaria areas mosquito advice should come from a qualified person.
Typical cockroach control requests in the area come from:
- Farms, grain stores and smallholdings: farm kitchens, packhouse canteens and worker housing treated with baits
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: quiet night-time treatments of kitchens, laundries and rooms for guesthouses and hotels
- Homes and families: a gel bait treatment of the kitchen and bathrooms, with a follow-up visit after three weeks
- Factories, warehouses and mines: canteens, loading areas and drains treated, with cardboard storage moved off the floor
- Restaurants and food businesses: bait stations, crack treatment and records for restaurants, takeaways and bakeries facing an audit
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: treatment between tenants and across a whole block, so roaches do not move from unit to unit
- Exporters and freight forwarders: warehouses and cold stores checked so stored cargo stays clear of roaches
