Pests and properties in Bloemfontein
Bloemfontein is a Free State capital with cold, dry winters, hot summer thunderstorms and a mix of old sandstone homes, student housing and government buildings. Mice and rats move indoors in winter, while the warmer months bring termites, ants, flies and cockroaches. Landlords near the university and in Brandwag and Langenhoven Park book treatment between tenants, and hospitals, schools, guest houses, restaurants and food depots keep regular schedules. Old timber roofs and floors in the older suburbs can hide wood borer. Farms across the surrounding maize and wheat land fumigate grain stores and control rodents. Operators serve the city and the wider province, including Botshabelo and Thaba Nchu.
Typical tent fumigation requests in the area come from:
- Homes and families: tenting a house for drywood termites that have spread through roof timbers and cupboards
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: a clearance and report so a landlord can show the timber is treated before new tenants arrive
- Restaurants and food businesses: rarely tented while trading; usually a closed-day treatment of roof timbers or a stock room
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: tenting a guesthouse or lodge in a quiet season, with wooden decks and thatch assessed
- Offices, schools, clinics and shops: treating an older office building or a school hall with infested roof trusses
- Farms, grain stores and smallholdings: farmhouses, outbuildings and homesteads with wooden roofs, often far from the nearest fumigator
- Factories, warehouses and mines: tenting timber-framed buildings and stores, or gas treatment of a stack of timber
