Pests and properties in Eastern Cape
The Eastern Cape runs from the temperate coast around Gqeberha and East London to the dry Karoo and the green Wild Coast. Coastal humidity favours cockroaches, ants, termites and bed bugs in homes, flats, guesthouses and holiday rentals, while the Karoo brings rodents, snakes and scorpions. The ports of Gqeberha, Ngqura (Coega) and East London handle vehicles, citrus and other exports, so container fumigation and warehouse treatment are common. Makhanda and Gqeberha have student housing, and Gqeberha and East London have food factories and motor plants that need regular programmes. Citrus farms in the Sundays River valley and livestock farms inland book rodent and fly control. Peaks follow the warmer months.
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
- 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
- Restaurants and food businesses: a monthly bait station map, trap checks and reports for audits and municipal health inspections
- Factories, warehouses and mines: warehouse perimeters, docks and stock areas covered by numbered stations and monthly service
- Farms, grain stores and smallholdings: feed stores, grain sheds and poultry houses protected, with care taken over owls and raptors
