Pests and properties in East London
East London has a humid, warm coastal climate with rain in most months, so cockroaches, ants, termites, mosquitoes and rodents are active for long periods. Flats, homes and takeaways in Quigney, Vincent, Nahoon and Beacon Bay, guesthouses along the coast, and rental housing in Mdantsane often need cockroach, bed bug and rodent treatment. The port and the industrial development zone handle exports and imports, so container fumigation and cargo treatment are sometimes needed. Motor industry suppliers, food processors and warehouses on the Buffalo River side use regular contracts. Dairy and pineapple farms nearby also call for rodent and insect control. Teams usually work from East London or Gonubie.
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
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: gravel paths, paving and lawns kept neat for guests, with products suited to pets
- Restaurants and food businesses: weeds cleared around buildings, bins and drains to remove cover for rodents and insects
- Factories, warehouses and mines: total herbicide on gravel yards, rail sidings and fence lines, with residual cover for months
- Exporters and freight forwarders: weed-free depot yards, container stacks and truck bays to cut cover for pests
