Pests and properties in Gqeberha
Gqeberha has a mild, windy coastal climate with rain through the year, so pests are active in most months, with a peak in the warmer months. Cockroaches, ants, rodents and silverfish are common in flats and older homes in Summerstrand, Walmer and Newton Park, and bed bugs are a concern in guesthouses and student accommodation. Food processors, motor industry suppliers and warehouses in Struandale, Markman and Coega use regular pest control. The port and the Coega Special Economic Zone handle exports and imports, including citrus and other produce, so container fumigation is often requested. Teams normally work from across the metro, including Kariega and Despatch.
