Pests and properties in Durban
Durban has a humid subtropical climate, warm for most of the year, and that suits German and American cockroaches, ants, termites, mosquitoes and rodents. Flats along the Berea and the beachfront, rental complexes in Umhlanga and Westville, restaurants, hotels and guesthouses call pest controllers all year. Older timber roofs and garden trees in suburbs such as Morningside and Glenwood attract subterranean termites. Durban is also the busiest container port in the country, so exporters and importers ask about container and cargo fumigation, usually to meet the destination country's rules. Pest control and fumigation teams usually work from across the metro and the southern industrial areas.
Typical weed control requests in the area come from:
- Homes and families: weeds killed in paving and driveways, a selective lawn treatment or a cleared boundary strip
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: tidying of common areas, pavements and parking bays between tenants or before an inspection
