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 fly and mosquito control requests in the area come from:
- Homes and families: a garden and drain check for mosquitoes, with advice on gutters, saucers and a green pool
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: bin enclosures, communal drains and standing water treated for complexes and body corporates
- Restaurants and food businesses: UV light traps, drain cleaning and monthly trap records for audits and municipal inspections
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: kitchen flies, outdoor dining mosquitoes and pond larvicide, timed outside service hours
- Exporters and freight forwarders: packhouses and depots protected with light traps and exclusion at doors and docks
- Factories, warehouses and mines: waste yards, canteens and loading bays treated with bait, traps and residual spray
- Offices, schools, clinics and shops: bin rooms, tea rooms and pot plant saucers checked on a quarterly visit
