Pests and properties in Brits
Brits is an irrigated farming and light industry town on the bushveld plain, with the Hartbeespoort canal feeding citrus, vegetables and maize. Water and warm summers favour mosquitoes, flies, termites and snakes, while crops and animal feed attract rats and mice year round. Farmers book rodent control, grain store fumigation and poultry house service, and factory sheds and food processors need scheduled treatment for audits. In town, homes in Damonsville, flats and rental rooms in Letlhabile and Mothutlung call for cockroach and bed bug control. Guesthouses and weekend homes around Hartbeespoort add lodge work. Operators serve Brits from the town and from Pretoria, about an hour away.
Typical container fumigation requests in the area come from:
- Farms, grain stores and smallholdings: treating maize, soya, citrus pallets and seed before export to Asia, Europe or the Middle East
- Factories, warehouses and mines: treating machinery crates and wooden dunnage, with a certificate for the shipping line
- Homes and families: rarely needed, except for a household move shipped overseas with antique wooden furniture
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: not usually relevant, apart from furniture or goods being shipped in a container
- Restaurants and food businesses: treating packed dry food, dried fruit, nuts and spices before export or after import
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: treating wooden decor and furniture for a lodge fit-out arriving from abroad
- Exporters and freight forwarders: exporters of timber, grain, fruit and goods on wooden pallets needing a certificate to match the bill of lading
