Pests and properties in Randfontein
Randfontein is a small mining and farming town on the far West Rand, ringed by mine dumps, open grassland and smallholdings. Old mine houses and compounds, hostels and worker accommodation in the area often struggle with cockroaches, rodents and bed bugs, and the grassland around town supports rats, mice and snakes that move into sheds and stores in winter. Smallholdings and feed merchants deal with rodents and stored grain pests, while homes in Greenhills and the town centre see termites and ants. Flying ants swarm after summer storms. Clients include mine housing managers, farmers, landlords and local shops, and most work is done by teams based in Randfontein or Krugersdorp.
Typical grain fumigation requests in the area come from:
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: not usually relevant, apart from a landlord with a stored grain or feed store
- Farms, grain stores and smallholdings: treating maize, wheat and sorghum in silos, sheds and bag stacks before sale
- 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
- Restaurants and food businesses: mills, bakeries and feed makers treating flour, meal and raw material stores
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: seldom relevant, except lodges with large dry food stores treated by a registered operator
