Pests and properties in Mpumalanga
Mpumalanga mixes a warm, frost-light Lowveld with a cooler Highveld, so the pests differ across the province. Around Mbombela, White River and Hazyview, heat and humidity favour termites, mosquitoes, cockroaches and snakes, and guesthouses and lodges often need bed bug and cockroach treatment. Citrus, subtropical fruit and vegetable farms and packhouses face rodents and stored product pests, while maize farms on the Highveld need silo and grain store treatment. Mining and power towns such as eMalahleni, Secunda and Middelburg have hostels, canteens and workshops with rodent and cockroach problems. Peaks follow the rainy season from October to March, and in malaria areas mosquito advice should come from a qualified person.
Typical pest control requests in the area come from:
- Farms, grain stores and smallholdings: treatment of farmhouses, workers' quarters and feed stores, with rodent control around sheds
- 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
- Factories, warehouses and mines: warehouse and plant visits covering rodents, stored product insects and flies
- Restaurants and food businesses: monthly visits with bait station maps and records for audits and health inspections
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: a treatment between tenants and a service report to put on the lease file
- Exporters and freight forwarders: pest checks of packing areas and depots so cargo is not rejected for live insects
