Pests and properties in Johannesburg
Johannesburg is a large, mixed city, so pest work varies widely from one area to the next. Older suburbs such as Parkview, Melville and Observatory have timber floors and roof voids where borers, rodents and flying ants settle, while the dense flats of Hillbrow, Berea and Yeoville struggle with cockroaches, rodents and bed bugs. The inner city and southern industrial areas have food outlets, warehouses and workshops that need regular programmes and compliance certificates. Harvester termites and flying ants appear after the first Highveld summer rains, usually from October. Property managers, body corporates, landlords, restaurants and offices are the usual callers, and many pest control teams work across the whole metro.
Typical termite control requests in the area come from:
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: an inspection and treatment before a lease, with a report that covers the timber structure
- Homes and families: trenching around the house walls or a bait system, with a guarantee of several years
- 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
- Factories, warehouses and mines: soil treatment before a new factory slab and bait checks around storage yards
