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 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
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: kitchens, bins, laundry and thatch roofs checked quietly, with discreet stations near the stoep
- 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
- Restaurants and food businesses: a monthly bait station map, trap checks and reports for audits and municipal health inspections
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: treatment between tenants, with station maps and a record for the letting agent or body corporate
- Exporters and freight forwarders: depots and container yards with station maps, trap checks and a rodent-free record
