Pests and properties in Free State
The Free State is grain country, with maize, wheat, sunflower and livestock farms around Bloemfontein, Bethlehem, Welkom, Kroonstad and Sasolburg. Silos, grain stores, feed mills and farm sheds attract rodents, weevils and moths, so grain store fumigation and rodent control are common requests. Summer storms bring termites, flying ants and flies, and cold dry winters push rats and mice into houses and flats. Bloemfontein has student housing, offices and hospitals, and Sasolburg and Welkom have industrial plants and mine hostels with regular programmes. Guesthouses along the N1 route book bed bug and cockroach treatment. Distances are long, so ask early and plan treatments before harvest.
Typical weed control requests in the area come from:
- Farms, grain stores and smallholdings: fire breaks, fence lines, dam walls and invasive plants cleared before the dry season
- Homes and families: weeds killed in paving and driveways, a selective lawn treatment or a cleared boundary strip
- Factories, warehouses and mines: total herbicide on gravel yards, rail sidings and fence lines, with residual cover for months
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: tidying of common areas, pavements and parking bays between tenants or before an inspection
- Restaurants and food businesses: weeds cleared around buildings, bins and drains to remove cover for rodents and insects
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: gravel paths, paving and lawns kept neat for guests, with products suited to pets
- Offices, schools, clinics and shops: car parks, kerbs, paving and landscaped beds kept clear on a seasonal contract
