Pests and properties in Eastern Cape

The Eastern Cape runs from the temperate coast around Gqeberha and East London to the dry Karoo and the green Wild Coast. Coastal humidity favours cockroaches, ants, termites and bed bugs in homes, flats, guesthouses and holiday rentals, while the Karoo brings rodents, snakes and scorpions. The ports of Gqeberha, Ngqura (Coega) and East London handle vehicles, citrus and other exports, so container fumigation and warehouse treatment are common. Makhanda and Gqeberha have student housing, and Gqeberha and East London have food factories and motor plants that need regular programmes. Citrus farms in the Sundays River valley and livestock farms inland book rodent and fly control. Peaks follow the warmer months.

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
  • 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
  • Restaurants and food businesses: rare indoors, but staff areas, storerooms and the yard are treated where a stray animal visits
  • Factories, warehouses and mines: yards, loading areas and guard huts where stray animals bring fleas near staff
  • Farms, grain stores and smallholdings: kennels, dog sleeping areas and farmhouse floors, using products suited to working dogs
