Pests and properties in Vanderbijlpark

Vanderbijlpark is a planned steel town in the Vaal Triangle, with heavy industry, chemical plants and engineering works nearby. Factories and canteens need documented pest control, with rodents, cockroaches and birds the main concerns, and the Vaal River and Barrage bring mosquitoes, midges and flies in warm months. The planned suburbs have regular blocks of homes and flats where cockroaches, termites and ants are common, while Vaalpark and the riverside areas see snakes and rodents. Smallholdings around the town keep poultry and livestock that attract rats and flies. Flying ants swarm after summer storms. Clients include plant managers, landlords, schools, farmers and homeowners, and teams often serve the whole Vaal area.

Typical container fumigation requests in the area come from:

• Factories, warehouses and mines: treating machinery crates and wooden dunnage, with a certificate for the shipping line
• 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
• Farms, grain stores and smallholdings: treating maize, soya, citrus pallets and seed before export to Asia, Europe or the Middle East
• 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
