Pests and properties in Northern Cape
The Northern Cape is the driest and most spread-out province, with long distances between Kimberley, Upington, Kuruman, Springbok and De Aar. Heat and dry conditions mean rodents, scorpions, snakes, ants and cockroaches are the usual callouts, with termites in older timber roofs and fly problems around irrigated farms. Upington and the Orange River valley grow grapes, dates and vegetables, so packhouses, dry stores and export sheds need pest control and sometimes fumigation. Mines, solar plants and guesthouses on the tourist routes also book treatments. Many jobs mean a long drive, so pest controllers often group visits by town, and it pays to book early and ask about travel costs.
Typical termite control requests in the area come from:
- Farms, grain stores and smallholdings: treatment of timber barns, poles and fences, and lawn damage from harvester termites
- 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
- Homes and families: trenching around the house walls or a bait system, with a guarantee of several years
- Exporters and freight forwarders: inspection of timber stockyards and packing sheds to protect wooden stock
- 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
