Pests and properties in Richards Bay
Richards Bay has a hot, humid coastal climate, with mosquitoes, cockroaches, ants and termites active for much of the year. The port handles bulk cargo, timber and other goods, so exporters, importers and agents may ask about container and cargo fumigation to meet destination rules. Offices, guesthouses and rental flats in Meerensee and Arboretum, and homes and shops in Empangeni, call for cockroach, ant and rodent control. Sugar cane and timber farms nearby deal with rats and snakes, and storage sheds and grain stores need rodent and insect control. Mosquito control is often raised after summer rains. Teams usually come from Richards Bay, Empangeni or Durban.
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
- Exporters and freight forwarders: warehouses and cold stores checked so stored cargo stays clear of roaches
- 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
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: quiet night-time treatments of kitchens, laundries and rooms for guesthouses and hotels
- Restaurants and food businesses: bait stations, crack treatment and records for restaurants, takeaways and bakeries facing an audit
