Pests and properties in Welkom
Welkom is a goldfields town on the flat northern Free State plain, with hot summers, cold dry winters and large farms of maize and sunflower around it. Rodents follow grain and feed into stores and homes, and cockroaches and ants are constant in kitchens and flats. Mine hostels, compounds, guesthouses and rental rooms in Thabong and Virginia need bulk cockroach, bed bug and rat control. Ageing buildings and empty properties bring pigeons and rodents, so bird proofing and cleaning are common requests. Farmers book grain store and silo fumigation after harvest. Operators serve the area from Welkom itself and from Bloemfontein, with Klerksdorp crews sometimes covering the north.
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
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: quiet night-time treatments of kitchens, laundries and rooms for guesthouses and hotels
- Offices, schools, clinics and shops: tea rooms, canteens and storerooms treated after hours with low-odour baits
