Pests and properties in Secunda
Secunda is a planned Highveld town of regular suburbs, a large petrochemical works and maize land all around. Its cold dry winters push mice and rats into homes and sheds, and its summer rain brings flying ants, termites, flies and mosquitoes near the vleis. Homeowners in Secunda and Trichardt, tenants in Embalenhle and landlords of rental flats call for cockroach, bed bug and rodent control. Contractor camps, canteens, guesthouses and shops need scheduled service, often with records for client audits. Farmers nearby fumigate grain stores and silos after harvest. Operators reach the town from Secunda itself, from Bethal and from Johannesburg and eMalahleni by road.
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
- Factories, warehouses and mines: tenting timber-framed buildings and stores, or gas treatment of a stack of timber
- 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
- 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
- Offices, schools, clinics and shops: treating an older office building or a school hall with infested roof trusses
