Pests and properties in Welkom
Welkom is a goldfields town on the flat northern Free State plain, with hot summers, cold dry winters and large farms of maize and sunflower around it. Rodents follow grain and feed into stores and homes, and cockroaches and ants are constant in kitchens and flats. Mine hostels, compounds, guesthouses and rental rooms in Thabong and Virginia need bulk cockroach, bed bug and rat control. Ageing buildings and empty properties bring pigeons and rodents, so bird proofing and cleaning are common requests. Farmers book grain store and silo fumigation after harvest. Operators serve the area from Welkom itself and from Bloemfontein, with Klerksdorp crews sometimes covering the north.
Typical rodent control requests in the area come from:
- Factories, warehouses and mines: warehouse perimeters, docks and stock areas covered by numbered stations and monthly service
- 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
- Farms, grain stores and smallholdings: feed stores, grain sheds and poultry houses protected, with care taken over owls and raptors
