Tent Fumigation in Kimberley

Pests and properties in Kimberley
Kimberley is a dry Northern Cape town of old tin-roofed houses, with hot summers and cold winter nights. Rats and mice use old roof voids and storerooms, while cockroaches, ants, silverfish and the odd termite colony trouble kitchens and older timber. Heritage homes and guesthouses around the Big Hole, government offices, hospitals and schools need regular service, as do restaurants and takeaways in town. Rental rooms in Galeshewe and Roodepan call for bed bug and cockroach control. Snakes and scorpions turn up in gardens and open ground, and farms nearby fumigate grain and feed stores. Operators are few, working from Kimberley, so book early for larger jobs and ask about travel from Bloemfontein.
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
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: tenting a guesthouse or lodge in a quiet season, with wooden decks and thatch assessed
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: a clearance and report so a landlord can show the timber is treated before new tenants arrive
- Offices, schools, clinics and shops: treating an older office building or a school hall with infested roof trusses
- Restaurants and food businesses: rarely tented while trading; usually a closed-day treatment of roof timbers or a stock room
- 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
