Pests and properties in North West
North West is a province of farmland, mining towns and the growing suburbs of Rustenburg, Mahikeng, Klerksdorp and Potchefstroom. Hot summers with afternoon thunderstorms favour termites, flying ants, flies and scorpions, and dry winters push rodents into houses and sheds. Maize, sunflower and cattle farms need grain store, silo and feed shed treatment, and poultry houses need fly and rodent control. Around the platinum and gold mines, hostels, canteens, guesthouses and workshops need regular cockroach and rodent programmes. Landlords and student housing in Potchefstroom book treatments before and after term. Pest controllers often travel long distances between towns, so book early for remote sites.
