Pests and properties in Gauteng
Gauteng is the busiest market for pest control in the country, with dense suburbs, flats, townships, offices and industrial parks. Summer rains on the Highveld bring flying ants, harvester termites and flies, while cockroaches and rodents are a year-round problem in blocks of flats, restaurants and food factories. Landlords, letting agents and body corporates in Johannesburg and Pretoria book regular treatments, and food manufacturers in Isando, Wadeville and Midrand need documented programmes for audits. Cold winter nights push rats and mice indoors. Bed bugs turn up in guesthouses, student housing and shared rooms. Most pest controllers work across the metro areas and travel between them daily.
Typical termite control requests in the area come from:
- Homes and families: trenching around the house walls or a bait system, with a guarantee of several years
- 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
- Offices, schools, clinics and shops: inspection of ceilings, door frames and timber floors in shops and offices
- Factories, warehouses and mines: soil treatment before a new factory slab and bait checks around storage yards
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: treatment of thatch roofs, decks and timber chalets at lodges and guesthouses
- Exporters and freight forwarders: inspection of timber stockyards and packing sheds to protect wooden stock
