Pests and properties in Newcastle
Newcastle in northern KwaZulu-Natal has warm summers with thunderstorms and cold, dry winters with frost, which pushes rodents indoors in the cooler months. Steel, textile and other factories, warehouses and the busy retail areas call for regular pest control, and food outlets and clinics usually need records. In Madadeni, Osizweni and the older town suburbs, cockroaches, bed bugs and rodents are common in dense housing and rental rooms. Termites and flying ants appear after the first summer rains. The surrounding farms keep grain, feed and livestock, and need rodent, insect and snake control. Pest controllers often travel in from Newcastle itself or from Gauteng and Durban for larger jobs.
Typical cockroach control requests in the area come from:
- Factories, warehouses and mines: canteens, loading areas and drains treated, with cardboard storage moved off the floor
- Homes and families: a gel bait treatment of the kitchen and bathrooms, with a follow-up visit after three weeks
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: treatment between tenants and across a whole block, so roaches do not move from unit to unit
- Farms, grain stores and smallholdings: farm kitchens, packhouse canteens and worker housing treated with baits
- Restaurants and food businesses: bait stations, crack treatment and records for restaurants, takeaways and bakeries facing an audit
- Offices, schools, clinics and shops: tea rooms, canteens and storerooms treated after hours with low-odour baits
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: quiet night-time treatments of kitchens, laundries and rooms for guesthouses and hotels
