Pests and properties in Mbombela
Mbombela sits in the warm, humid Lowveld, so pests are active almost all year. German cockroaches thrive in kitchens, termites attack roof timber and fences, and mosquitoes breed after summer rain. The wider Lowveld is a malaria area, so ask an operator about mosquito control and advice from a health professional before travelling. Homes and complexes in West Acres and the suburbs, lodges and guesthouses near the Kruger gates, restaurants, and packing sheds in the citrus, mango and macadamia belt all need regular service. Snakes and bees are common call-outs on plots and farms near White River and Hazyview. Operators work from the city and White River.
