Pests and properties in Free State
The Free State is grain country, with maize, wheat, sunflower and livestock farms around Bloemfontein, Bethlehem, Welkom, Kroonstad and Sasolburg. Silos, grain stores, feed mills and farm sheds attract rodents, weevils and moths, so grain store fumigation and rodent control are common requests. Summer storms bring termites, flying ants and flies, and cold dry winters push rats and mice into houses and flats. Bloemfontein has student housing, offices and hospitals, and Sasolburg and Welkom have industrial plants and mine hostels with regular programmes. Guesthouses along the N1 route book bed bug and cockroach treatment. Distances are long, so ask early and plan treatments before harvest.
Typical rodent control requests in the area come from:
- Farms, grain stores and smallholdings: feed stores, grain sheds and poultry houses protected, with care taken over owls and raptors
- Homes and families: bait stations around the house, traps and roof void checks, with gaps sealed against re-entry
- Factories, warehouses and mines: warehouse perimeters, docks and stock areas covered by numbered stations and monthly service
- 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
- Offices, schools, clinics and shops: ceiling voids, canteens and server rooms checked, with traps and sealed cable gaps
