Pests and properties in Polokwane
Polokwane is the commercial centre of Limpopo, on a warm dry plateau with hot summers and mild, dry winters. Termites are the big household pest, working through roof timber, door frames and fences, while cockroaches, ants and rodents trouble kitchens and storerooms. Suburbs such as Flora Park and Bendor, the malls and restaurants, hotels and guesthouses, and government offices all call for regular service. Landlords and student housing around the university book treatment between tenants. Farms and fresh produce traders nearby add rodent and grain store work, and snakes turn up on plots.
