Pests and properties in Benoni

Benoni is known for its lakes and large gardens, and its pests lean toward the garden and the water's edge. Northmead, Rynfield and Lakefield have mature trees, thatch and timber roofs, so termites, borers, ants, mosquitoes and snakes are common calls, and flying ants swarm after summer storms. Around Crystal Park and Putfontein, smallholdings and plots keep poultry, horses and feed that attract rats and flies. The Benoni CBD and Daveyton have flats and shops with cockroach and rodent problems, while light industry along Rynfield and Northmead handles food and workshops. Clients are homeowners, smallholders, landlords and small businesses, and teams typically work from Boksburg and Brakpan across the East Rand.
