Pests and properties in Alberton

Alberton sits on the southern East Rand, with a broad industrial area in Alrode and Meyersdal and a ring of older suburbs and growing townships. Factories, workshops and food processors in Alrode need pest programmes for rodents, flies, cockroaches and stored product insects. Older suburbs such as New Redruth, Brackenhurst and Randhart have homes with timber roofs and gardens where termites, borers and flying ants are regular callers. Dense housing and flats toward Thokoza and Katlehong face cockroaches, rodents and bed bugs. Meyersdal and the nature reserve ridge bring snakes and moles into estate gardens. Clients are factory managers, landlords, homeowners and estate bodies, with teams based locally or in Germiston.
