Pests and properties in Gauteng
Gauteng is the busiest market for pest control in the country, with dense suburbs, flats, townships, offices and industrial parks. Summer rains on the Highveld bring flying ants, harvester termites and flies, while cockroaches and rodents are a year-round problem in blocks of flats, restaurants and food factories. Landlords, letting agents and body corporates in Johannesburg and Pretoria book regular treatments, and food manufacturers in Isando, Wadeville and Midrand need documented programmes for audits. Cold winter nights push rats and mice indoors. Bed bugs turn up in guesthouses, student housing and shared rooms. Most pest controllers work across the metro areas and travel between them daily.
Typical commercial pest control requests in the area come from:
- Homes and families: body corporates and complexes using a scheduled contract for common areas, bins and refuse rooms
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: landlords and managing agents keeping a service history for blocks of flats
