Pests and properties in Polokwane
Polokwane is the commercial centre of Limpopo, on a warm dry plateau with hot summers and mild, dry winters. Termites are the big household pest, working through roof timber, door frames and fences, while cockroaches, ants and rodents trouble kitchens and storerooms. Suburbs such as Flora Park and Bendor, the malls and restaurants, hotels and guesthouses, and government offices all call for regular service. Landlords and student housing around the university book treatment between tenants. Farms and fresh produce traders nearby add rodent and grain store work, and snakes turn up on plots. Operators are based in the city, and many cover the surrounding villages and farms.
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
- 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
- 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
