Pests and properties in Limpopo
Limpopo is hot for much of the year, which suits termites, mosquitoes, cockroaches, ants and snakes. Polokwane, Tzaneen, Mokopane and Musina have houses, flats, student housing and fast-growing commercial areas, while game lodges and guesthouses around the Waterberg and Kruger gateways need discreet treatment for bed bugs, cockroaches and flies. Farms grow citrus, mangoes, tomatoes and maize, so packhouses, cold stores and grain stores need rodent and stored product pest control. Mines in the Bushveld and Mopani areas run hostels and canteens that need regular programmes. In malaria areas, ask a qualified person about mosquito control, and expect pests to peak after the summer rains.
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
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: gravel paths, paving and lawns kept neat for guests, with products suited to pets
- 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
- Exporters and freight forwarders: weed-free depot yards, container stacks and truck bays to cut cover for pests
