Pests and properties in Rustenburg
Rustenburg lies on the hot bushveld plain below the Magaliesberg, where long warm summers keep cockroaches, ants, termites and mosquitoes busy and winters are mild and dry. The platinum belt means mine hostels, single quarters and contractor camps, which need rodent control, bed bug treatment and cockroach service in bulk. Homes and complexes in Safari Gardens and the older suburbs, guesthouses and lodges around the Pilanesberg and Sun City road, and busy township kitchens in Boitekong and Tlhabane also call. Snakes are common in gardens near the ridge. Operators serve the area from Rustenburg itself, with bigger crews coming from Pretoria and Brits along the N4.
Typical tent fumigation requests in the area come from:
- Factories, warehouses and mines: tenting timber-framed buildings and stores, or gas treatment of a stack of timber
- 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
- 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
