Pests and properties in Gauteng
Gauteng is the busiest market for pest control in the country, with dense suburbs, flats, townships, offices and industrial parks. Summer rains on the Highveld bring flying ants, harvester termites and flies, while cockroaches and rodents are a year-round problem in blocks of flats, restaurants and food factories. Landlords, letting agents and body corporates in Johannesburg and Pretoria book regular treatments, and food manufacturers in Isando, Wadeville and Midrand need documented programmes for audits. Cold winter nights push rats and mice indoors. Bed bugs turn up in guesthouses, student housing and shared rooms. Most pest controllers work across the metro areas and travel between them daily.
Typical fumigation requests in the area come from:
- Homes and families: cockroach, ant and flea treatments with a follow-up, rodent control in the roof and termite checks
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: treatments between tenants, a certificate for the lease file and annual checks for complexes
- Restaurants and food businesses: monthly pest control contracts with bait station maps and audit records for food safety
- Offices, schools, clinics and shops: after-hours treatments for offices, schools, clinics and shops with low-odour products
- Factories, warehouses and mines: rodent programmes, fly control and stored product insect treatments in warehouses and plants
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: bed bug inspections, room treatments and scheduled visits for guesthouses, hotels and lodges
- Exporters and freight forwarders: container, cargo and pallet fumigation with a certificate for the shipping documents
