Pests and properties in Limpopo
Limpopo is hot for much of the year, which suits termites, mosquitoes, cockroaches, ants and snakes. Polokwane, Tzaneen, Mokopane and Musina have houses, flats, student housing and fast-growing commercial areas, while game lodges and guesthouses around the Waterberg and Kruger gateways need discreet treatment for bed bugs, cockroaches and flies. Farms grow citrus, mangoes, tomatoes and maize, so packhouses, cold stores and grain stores need rodent and stored product pest control. Mines in the Bushveld and Mopani areas run hostels and canteens that need regular programmes. In malaria areas, ask a qualified person about mosquito control, and expect pests to peak after the summer rains.
Typical grain fumigation requests in the area come from:
- Farms, grain stores and smallholdings: treating maize, wheat and sorghum in silos, sheds and bag stacks before sale
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: seldom relevant, except lodges with large dry food stores treated by a registered operator
- Homes and families: rarely needed; a small pantry infestation is handled with bait and a clean-out instead
- Factories, warehouses and mines: silos, mills and feed plants with recurring weevils or moths in grain and dust
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: not usually relevant, apart from a landlord with a stored grain or feed store
- Restaurants and food businesses: mills, bakeries and feed makers treating flour, meal and raw material stores
- Exporters and freight forwarders: treating grain at a depot or silo complex so it meets the buyer's requirements
