Pests and properties in Free State
The Free State is grain country, with maize, wheat, sunflower and livestock farms around Bloemfontein, Bethlehem, Welkom, Kroonstad and Sasolburg. Silos, grain stores, feed mills and farm sheds attract rodents, weevils and moths, so grain store fumigation and rodent control are common requests. Summer storms bring termites, flying ants and flies, and cold dry winters push rats and mice into houses and flats. Bloemfontein has student housing, offices and hospitals, and Sasolburg and Welkom have industrial plants and mine hostels with regular programmes. Guesthouses along the N1 route book bed bug and cockroach treatment. Distances are long, so ask early and plan treatments before harvest.
Typical termite control requests in the area come from:
- Farms, grain stores and smallholdings: treatment of timber barns, poles and fences, and lawn damage from harvester termites
- Homes and families: trenching around the house walls or a bait system, with a guarantee of several years
- Factories, warehouses and mines: soil treatment before a new factory slab and bait checks around storage yards
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: an inspection and treatment before a lease, with a report that covers the timber structure
- Restaurants and food businesses: treatment of timber roofs and wall cavities, with records for the owner and insurer
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: treatment of thatch roofs, decks and timber chalets at lodges and guesthouses
- Offices, schools, clinics and shops: inspection of ceilings, door frames and timber floors in shops and offices
