Pests and properties in East London
East London has a humid, warm coastal climate with rain in most months, so cockroaches, ants, termites, mosquitoes and rodents are active for long periods. Flats, homes and takeaways in Quigney, Vincent, Nahoon and Beacon Bay, guesthouses along the coast, and rental housing in Mdantsane often need cockroach, bed bug and rodent treatment. The port and the industrial development zone handle exports and imports, so container fumigation and cargo treatment are sometimes needed. Motor industry suppliers, food processors and warehouses on the Buffalo River side use regular contracts. Dairy and pineapple farms nearby also call for rodent and insect control. Teams usually work from East London or Gonubie.
Typical container fumigation requests in the area come from:
- 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
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: treating wooden decor and furniture for a lodge fit-out arriving from abroad
- Restaurants and food businesses: treating packed dry food, dried fruit, nuts and spices before export or after import
- Factories, warehouses and mines: treating machinery crates and wooden dunnage, with a certificate for the shipping line
- Exporters and freight forwarders: exporters of timber, grain, fruit and goods on wooden pallets needing a certificate to match the bill of lading
- Offices, schools, clinics and shops: treating office furniture and archives shipped as part of a relocation
