Pests and properties in Durban
Durban has a humid subtropical climate, warm for most of the year, and that suits German and American cockroaches, ants, termites, mosquitoes and rodents. Flats along the Berea and the beachfront, rental complexes in Umhlanga and Westville, restaurants, hotels and guesthouses call pest controllers all year. Older timber roofs and garden trees in suburbs such as Morningside and Glenwood attract subterranean termites. Durban is also the busiest container port in the country, so exporters and importers ask about container and cargo fumigation, usually to meet the destination country's rules. Pest control and fumigation teams usually work from across the metro and the southern industrial areas.
Typical flea control requests in the area come from:
- Homes and families: a spray of carpets, beds and the stoep, with the vet treating the pets the same day
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: a treatment before a new tenant moves in, with a certificate when a pet left fleas behind
- Restaurants and food businesses: rare indoors, but staff areas, storerooms and the yard are treated where a stray animal visits
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: guest rooms and pet-friendly cottages treated between stays, with the kennel and lawn included
- Exporters and freight forwarders: seldom needed, except staff housing and offices at depots where strays shelter
- Factories, warehouses and mines: yards, loading areas and guard huts where stray animals bring fleas near staff
- Offices, schools, clinics and shops: carpet and upholstery treatment where an office dog or a stray cat has been
