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.

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
  • Offices, schools, clinics and shops: tea rooms, canteens and storerooms treated after hours with low-odour baits
  • 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
  • Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: quiet night-time treatments of kitchens, laundries and rooms for guesthouses and hotels
  • Farms, grain stores and smallholdings: farm kitchens, packhouse canteens and worker housing treated with baits
  • Factories, warehouses and mines: canteens, loading areas and drains treated, with cardboard storage moved off the floor
