Pests and properties in Kimberley
Kimberley is a dry Northern Cape town of old tin-roofed houses, with hot summers and cold winter nights. Rats and mice use old roof voids and storerooms, while cockroaches, ants, silverfish and the odd termite colony trouble kitchens and older timber. Heritage homes and guesthouses around the Big Hole, government offices, hospitals and schools need regular service, as do restaurants and takeaways in town. Rental rooms in Galeshewe and Roodepan call for bed bug and cockroach control. Snakes and scorpions turn up in gardens and open ground, and farms nearby fumigate grain and feed stores. Operators are few, working from Kimberley, so book early for larger jobs and ask about travel from Bloemfontein.
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
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: quiet scheduled visits for guesthouses and lodges, with rooms treated while guests are out
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: a treatment between tenants and a service report to put on the lease file
- Offices, schools, clinics and shops: after-hours service of kitchens, storerooms and ceiling voids using low-odour products
- Restaurants and food businesses: monthly visits with bait station maps and records for audits and health inspections
- Farms, grain stores and smallholdings: treatment of farmhouses, workers' quarters and feed stores, with rodent control around sheds
- Factories, warehouses and mines: warehouse and plant visits covering rodents, stored product insects and flies
