Pests and properties in George
George lies below the Outeniqua Mountains on the Garden Route, with mild temperatures and rain through much of the year, so pests are active in every season. Cockroaches, ants, silverfish and rodents are common in homes, flats and eateries, and damp spells encourage mould and wood-destroying insects. Termites and wood borer affect older timber homes and sheds in George, Blanco and Wilderness. Guesthouses, holiday rentals and hotels along the coast, and the busy tourist trade, need bed bug and cockroach control, especially in the December holidays. Timber, dairy and farm businesses nearby ask for rodent and insect control. Teams often work from George and travel to Mossel Bay and Knysna.
Typical tent fumigation requests in the area come from:
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: tenting a guesthouse or lodge in a quiet season, with wooden decks and thatch assessed
- 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
- Farms, grain stores and smallholdings: farmhouses, outbuildings and homesteads with wooden roofs, often far from the nearest fumigator
- Restaurants and food businesses: rarely tented while trading; usually a closed-day treatment of roof timbers or a stock room
- Offices, schools, clinics and shops: treating an older office building or a school hall with infested roof trusses
- Factories, warehouses and mines: tenting timber-framed buildings and stores, or gas treatment of a stack of timber
