Pests and properties in Potchefstroom
Potchefstroom is a university and farming town on the Mooi River, with leafy older suburbs and maize country all around. Student housing and rental flats in Baillie Park, Van der Hoff Park and near the campus lead the demand, mostly for cockroaches, bed bugs and ants, with landlords booking treatment between tenants. Old sandstone and timber roofs in the historic centre invite wood borer and termites, and the river and gardens bring flies and mosquitoes in summer. Farmers around the town fumigate grain stores and control rats and mice after harvest. Restaurants, guesthouses and wedding venues also keep regular schedules. Operators serve the town locally and from Klerksdorp and Johannesburg.

- Homes and families: trenching around the house walls or a bait system, with a guarantee of several years
