Pests and properties in Tzaneen
Tzaneen is a warm, humid subtropical town among the avocado, mango, banana and citrus farms of the Letaba valley, so pests are active for most of the year. Fruit and packing sheds fight rats, flies and fruit-attracting insects, and the export growers need clean records for their buyers. Cockroaches, termites, ants and mosquitoes trouble homes in town, and snakes and bees are frequent call-outs on farms and plots. Parts of Limpopo are malaria areas, so ask an operator and a health professional about mosquito control and precautions. Lodges and guesthouses at Magoebaskloof and Haenertsburg also book service. Operators work from Tzaneen and Polokwane, about an hour away.
Typical tent fumigation requests in the area come from:
- Farms, grain stores and smallholdings: farmhouses, outbuildings and homesteads with wooden roofs, often far from the nearest fumigator
- Exporters and freight forwarders: treating wooden crates and furniture in a sealed tent or chamber ahead of shipping
- 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
- Restaurants and food businesses: rarely tented while trading; usually a closed-day treatment of roof timbers or a stock room
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: a clearance and report so a landlord can show the timber is treated before new tenants arrive
- Factories, warehouses and mines: tenting timber-framed buildings and stores, or gas treatment of a stack of timber
