Pests and properties in Kimberley
Kimberley is a dry Northern Cape town of old tin-roofed houses, with hot summers and cold winter nights. Rats and mice use old roof voids and storerooms, while cockroaches, ants, silverfish and the odd termite colony trouble kitchens and older timber. Heritage homes and guesthouses around the Big Hole, government offices, hospitals and schools need regular service, as do restaurants and takeaways in town. Rental rooms in Galeshewe and Roodepan call for bed bug and cockroach control. Snakes and scorpions turn up in gardens and open ground, and farms nearby fumigate grain and feed stores. Operators are few, working from Kimberley, so book early for larger jobs and ask about travel from Bloemfontein.
Typical grain fumigation requests in the area come from:
- Homes and families: rarely needed; a small pantry infestation is handled with bait and a clean-out instead
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: seldom relevant, except lodges with large dry food stores treated by a registered operator
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: not usually relevant, apart from a landlord with a stored grain or feed store
- Offices, schools, clinics and shops: not usually relevant, though a staff canteen store may need a pest control visit
- Restaurants and food businesses: mills, bakeries and feed makers treating flour, meal and raw material stores
- Farms, grain stores and smallholdings: treating maize, wheat and sorghum in silos, sheds and bag stacks before sale
- Factories, warehouses and mines: silos, mills and feed plants with recurring weevils or moths in grain and dust
