Pests and properties in George
George lies below the Outeniqua Mountains on the Garden Route, with mild temperatures and rain through much of the year, so pests are active in every season. Cockroaches, ants, silverfish and rodents are common in homes, flats and eateries, and damp spells encourage mould and wood-destroying insects. Termites and wood borer affect older timber homes and sheds in George, Blanco and Wilderness. Guesthouses, holiday rentals and hotels along the coast, and the busy tourist trade, need bed bug and cockroach control, especially in the December holidays. Timber, dairy and farm businesses nearby ask for rodent and insect control. Teams often work from George and travel to Mossel Bay and Knysna.
Typical pest control requests in the area come from:
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: quiet scheduled visits for guesthouses and lodges, with rooms treated while guests are out
- Homes and families: a once-off treatment with a follow-up, then a quarterly visit to keep cockroaches and ants away
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: a treatment between tenants and a service report to put on the lease file
- Farms, grain stores and smallholdings: treatment of farmhouses, workers' quarters and feed stores, with rodent control around sheds
- Restaurants and food businesses: monthly visits with bait station maps and records for audits and health inspections
