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 fogging and disinfection requests in the area come from:
- Homes and families: a one-off fog for wasps or flies in a garage or outbuilding, or a home deep-clean after illness
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: fogging an empty flat between tenants after a flying insect problem
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: disinfection of rooms, kitchens and conference halls on a scheduled quiet day
- Exporters and freight forwarders: fogging packing sheds and depot stores for flying insects before inspection
- Restaurants and food businesses: fogging kitchens, cold rooms and storerooms for flies and to disinfect surfaces after cleaning
- Factories, warehouses and mines: thermal fogging of warehouses and plants for flies, moths and mosquitoes
- Farms, grain stores and smallholdings: fogging poultry houses, milking parlours and packhouses for flies and between batches
