Pests and properties in Upington
Upington lies on the Orange River in the hot Kalahari, where irrigated vineyards, date palms and raisin farms sit beside red desert sand. Rodents follow crops and dried fruit into sheds and packing houses, birds nest on roofs and in lofts, and cockroaches and ants thrive in the heat in town homes and lodges. Snakes and scorpions are common near the river and in gardens. Raisin, grape and date exporters need fumigation and pest records for their buyers, and guesthouses and lodges around Kakamas and Keimoes book regular service. Winters are short and dry, so summer is the peak. Operators work from Upington and cover the river valley, with some coming from Kimberley.
Typical cockroach control requests in the area come from:
- Farms, grain stores and smallholdings: farm kitchens, packhouse canteens and worker housing treated with baits
- Exporters and freight forwarders: warehouses and cold stores checked so stored cargo stays clear of roaches
- 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
- 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
- Factories, warehouses and mines: canteens, loading areas and drains treated, with cardboard storage moved off the floor
