Pests and properties in Kimberley
Kimberley is a dry Northern Cape town of old tin-roofed houses, with hot summers and cold winter nights. Rats and mice use old roof voids and storerooms, while cockroaches, ants, silverfish and the odd termite colony trouble kitchens and older timber. Heritage homes and guesthouses around the Big Hole, government offices, hospitals and schools need regular service, as do restaurants and takeaways in town. Rental rooms in Galeshewe and Roodepan call for bed bug and cockroach control. Snakes and scorpions turn up in gardens and open ground, and farms nearby fumigate grain and feed stores. Operators are few, working from Kimberley, so book early for larger jobs and ask about travel from Bloemfontein.
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
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: gravel paths, paving and lawns kept neat for guests, with products suited to pets
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: tidying of common areas, pavements and parking bays between tenants or before an inspection
- Offices, schools, clinics and shops: car parks, kerbs, paving and landscaped beds kept clear on a seasonal contract
- Restaurants and food businesses: weeds cleared around buildings, bins and drains to remove cover for rodents and insects
- Farms, grain stores and smallholdings: fire breaks, fence lines, dam walls and invasive plants cleared before the dry season
- Factories, warehouses and mines: total herbicide on gravel yards, rail sidings and fence lines, with residual cover for months
