Pests and properties in East London
East London has a humid, warm coastal climate with rain in most months, so cockroaches, ants, termites, mosquitoes and rodents are active for long periods. Flats, homes and takeaways in Quigney, Vincent, Nahoon and Beacon Bay, guesthouses along the coast, and rental housing in Mdantsane often need cockroach, bed bug and rodent treatment. The port and the industrial development zone handle exports and imports, so container fumigation and cargo treatment are sometimes needed. Motor industry suppliers, food processors and warehouses on the Buffalo River side use regular contracts. Dairy and pineapple farms nearby also call for rodent and insect control. Teams usually work from East London or Gonubie.
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
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: tenting a guesthouse or lodge in a quiet season, with wooden decks and thatch assessed
- Restaurants and food businesses: rarely tented while trading; usually a closed-day treatment of roof timbers or a stock room
- Factories, warehouses and mines: tenting timber-framed buildings and stores, or gas treatment of a stack of timber
- Exporters and freight forwarders: treating wooden crates and furniture in a sealed tent or chamber ahead of shipping
- Offices, schools, clinics and shops: treating an older office building or a school hall with infested roof trusses
