Pests and properties in Germiston

Germiston is one of the East Rand's oldest industrial towns, and its pest work follows the factories, rail yards and worker housing. Wadeville, Isando and Jet Park have food processors, warehouses and workshops that need documented pest programmes, with rodents, cockroaches, stored product insects and birds the main concerns. Older suburbs such as Primrose, Lambton and Dinwiddie have small homes and flats with cockroach and rodent problems, while Bedfordview homes with big gardens see termites and ants. Rodents follow the rail lines and drains, and flying ants swarm after the first summer rains. Clients are factory managers, landlords, restaurants and homeowners, and many pest controllers work from depots along the East Rand.

Typical container fumigation requests in the area come from:

• Factories, warehouses and mines: treating machinery crates and wooden dunnage, with a certificate for the shipping line
• Restaurants and food businesses: treating packed dry food, dried fruit, nuts and spices before export or after import
• Landlords, agents and body corporates: not usually relevant, apart from furniture or goods being shipped in a container
• Homes and families: rarely needed, except for a household move shipped overseas with antique wooden furniture
• Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: treating wooden decor and furniture for a lodge fit-out arriving from abroad
• Offices, schools, clinics and shops: treating office furniture and archives shipped as part of a relocation
• Exporters and freight forwarders: exporters of timber, grain, fruit and goods on wooden pallets needing a certificate to match the bill of lading
