Pests and properties in Kimberley
Kimberley is a dry Northern Cape town of old tin-roofed houses, with hot summers and cold winter nights. Rats and mice use old roof voids and storerooms, while cockroaches, ants, silverfish and the odd termite colony trouble kitchens and older timber. Heritage homes and guesthouses around the Big Hole, government offices, hospitals and schools need regular service, as do restaurants and takeaways in town. Rental rooms in Galeshewe and Roodepan call for bed bug and cockroach control. Snakes and scorpions turn up in gardens and open ground, and farms nearby fumigate grain and feed stores. Operators are few, working from Kimberley, so book early for larger jobs and ask about travel from Bloemfontein.
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
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: treating wooden decor and furniture for a lodge fit-out arriving from abroad
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: not usually relevant, apart from furniture or goods being shipped in a container
- Offices, schools, clinics and shops: treating office furniture and archives shipped as part of a relocation
- Restaurants and food businesses: treating packed dry food, dried fruit, nuts and spices before export or after import
- 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
