Pests and properties in Gqeberha
Gqeberha has a mild, windy coastal climate with rain through the year, so pests are active in most months, with a peak in the warmer months. Cockroaches, ants, rodents and silverfish are common in flats and older homes in Summerstrand, Walmer and Newton Park, and bed bugs are a concern in guesthouses and student accommodation. Food processors, motor industry suppliers and warehouses in Struandale, Markman and Coega use regular pest control. The port and the Coega Special Economic Zone handle exports and imports, including citrus and other produce, so container fumigation is often requested. Teams normally work from across the metro, including Kariega and Despatch.
Typical pest control requests in the area come from:
- 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
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: quiet scheduled visits for guesthouses and lodges, with rooms treated while guests are out
- Restaurants and food businesses: monthly visits with bait station maps and records for audits and health inspections
- Factories, warehouses and mines: warehouse and plant visits covering rodents, stored product insects and flies
- Exporters and freight forwarders: pest checks of packing areas and depots so cargo is not rejected for live insects
- Offices, schools, clinics and shops: after-hours service of kitchens, storerooms and ceiling voids using low-odour products
- Farms, grain stores and smallholdings: treatment of farmhouses, workers' quarters and feed stores, with rodent control around sheds
