Pests and properties in KwaZulu-Natal
KwaZulu-Natal has a warm, humid subtropical coast, and that heat suits German and American cockroaches, termites, mosquitoes, ants and bed bugs. Durban, Umhlanga, Ballito and the South Coast have apartments, holiday rentals, guesthouses, restaurants and hotels that need regular treatment, especially in the summer season. The port of Durban and Richards Bay handle many export containers, so container fumigation is part of the local trade. Inland, Pietermaritzburg and the Midlands have older timber homes, farms and food processors, and sugar cane and timber areas have rodent problems. Peaks run from October to March, and mosquito advice in malaria areas should come from a qualified person.
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
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: bed bug inspections, room treatments and scheduled visits for guesthouses, hotels and lodges
