Pests and properties in Mahikeng
Mahikeng and neighbouring Mmabatho lie on a flat, dry bushveld plain with hot summers and mild winters, and a large share of work is government and institutional. Offices, hospitals, schools, clinics and government housing need scheduled pest control, and tenders often ask for registered operators and service records. Homes, flats and rental rooms in Mmabatho and Montshiwa call for cockroach, rat and bed bug treatment. Termites and ants are active in older buildings and on plots, and snakes are common in gardens and open ground. Farms towards Lichtenburg and Zeerust fumigate grain stores and control rodents. Operators are limited locally, so ask about travel from Klerksdorp or Johannesburg.
Typical grain fumigation requests in the area come from:
