Pests and properties in Mbombela
Mbombela sits in the warm, humid Lowveld, so pests are active almost all year. German cockroaches thrive in kitchens, termites attack roof timber and fences, and mosquitoes breed after summer rain. The wider Lowveld is a malaria area, so ask an operator about mosquito control and advice from a health professional before travelling. Homes and complexes in West Acres and the suburbs, lodges and guesthouses near the Kruger gates, restaurants, and packing sheds in the citrus, mango and macadamia belt all need regular service. Snakes and bees are common call-outs on plots and farms near White River and Hazyview. Operators work from the city and White River.
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
- Farms, grain stores and smallholdings: farmhouses, outbuildings and homesteads with wooden roofs, often far from the nearest fumigator
- 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
- 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
