Container Fumigation in Johannesburg

Pests and properties in Johannesburg
Johannesburg is a large, mixed city, so pest work varies widely from one area to the next. Older suburbs such as Parkview, Melville and Observatory have timber floors and roof voids where borers, rodents and flying ants settle, while the dense flats of Hillbrow, Berea and Yeoville struggle with cockroaches, rodents and bed bugs. The inner city and southern industrial areas have food outlets, warehouses and workshops that need regular programmes and compliance certificates. Harvester termites and flying ants appear after the first Highveld summer rains, usually from October. Property managers, body corporates, landlords, restaurants and offices are the usual callers, and many pest control teams work across the whole metro.
Typical container fumigation requests in the area come from:
- 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
- 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
- Offices, schools, clinics and shops: treating office furniture and archives shipped as part of a relocation
- Factories, warehouses and mines: treating machinery crates and wooden dunnage, with a certificate for the shipping line

Container Fumigation usually suits exporters, importers and freight forwarders. Method: phosphine gas in a sealed container. Re-entry: only after a gas-free reading.
