Pests and properties in Newcastle
Newcastle in northern KwaZulu-Natal has warm summers with thunderstorms and cold, dry winters with frost, which pushes rodents indoors in the cooler months. Steel, textile and other factories, warehouses and the busy retail areas call for regular pest control, and food outlets and clinics usually need records. In Madadeni, Osizweni and the older town suburbs, cockroaches, bed bugs and rodents are common in dense housing and rental rooms. Termites and flying ants appear after the first summer rains. The surrounding farms keep grain, feed and livestock, and need rodent, insect and snake control. Pest controllers often travel in from Newcastle itself or from Gauteng and Durban for larger jobs.
Typical termite control requests in the area come from:
- Factories, warehouses and mines: soil treatment before a new factory slab and bait checks around storage yards
- 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
- Farms, grain stores and smallholdings: treatment of timber barns, poles and fences, and lawn damage from harvester termites
- 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
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: treatment of thatch roofs, decks and timber chalets at lodges and guesthouses
