Pests and properties in Durban
Durban has a humid subtropical climate, warm for most of the year, and that suits German and American cockroaches, ants, termites, mosquitoes and rodents. Flats along the Berea and the beachfront, rental complexes in Umhlanga and Westville, restaurants, hotels and guesthouses call pest controllers all year. Older timber roofs and garden trees in suburbs such as Morningside and Glenwood attract subterranean termites. Durban is also the busiest container port in the country, so exporters and importers ask about container and cargo fumigation, usually to meet the destination country's rules. Pest control and fumigation teams usually work from across the metro and the southern industrial areas.
Typical rodent control requests in the area come from:
- Homes and families: bait stations around the house, traps and roof void checks, with gaps sealed against re-entry
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: treatment between tenants, with station maps and a record for the letting agent or body corporate
- Restaurants and food businesses: a monthly bait station map, trap checks and reports for audits and municipal health inspections
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: kitchens, bins, laundry and thatch roofs checked quietly, with discreet stations near the stoep
- Exporters and freight forwarders: depots and container yards with station maps, trap checks and a rodent-free record
- Factories, warehouses and mines: warehouse perimeters, docks and stock areas covered by numbered stations and monthly service
