Pests and properties in Newcastle
Newcastle in northern KwaZulu-Natal has warm summers with thunderstorms and cold, dry winters with frost, which pushes rodents indoors in the cooler months. Steel, textile and other factories, warehouses and the busy retail areas call for regular pest control, and food outlets and clinics usually need records. In Madadeni, Osizweni and the older town suburbs, cockroaches, bed bugs and rodents are common in dense housing and rental rooms. Termites and flying ants appear after the first summer rains. The surrounding farms keep grain, feed and livestock, and need rodent, insect and snake control. Pest controllers often travel in from Newcastle itself or from Gauteng and Durban for larger jobs.
Typical snake removal requests in the area come from:
