Pests and properties in Gqeberha
Gqeberha has a mild, windy coastal climate with rain through the year, so pests are active in most months, with a peak in the warmer months. Cockroaches, ants, rodents and silverfish are common in flats and older homes in Summerstrand, Walmer and Newton Park, and bed bugs are a concern in guesthouses and student accommodation. Food processors, motor industry suppliers and warehouses in Struandale, Markman and Coega use regular pest control. The port and the Coega Special Economic Zone handle exports and imports, including citrus and other produce, so container fumigation is often requested. Teams normally work from across the metro, including Kariega and Despatch.
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
- Farms, grain stores and smallholdings: treating maize, soya, citrus pallets and seed before export to Asia, Europe or the Middle East
