Pests and properties in Newcastle
Newcastle in northern KwaZulu-Natal has warm summers with thunderstorms and cold, dry winters with frost, which pushes rodents indoors in the cooler months. Steel, textile and other factories, warehouses and the busy retail areas call for regular pest control, and food outlets and clinics usually need records. In Madadeni, Osizweni and the older town suburbs, cockroaches, bed bugs and rodents are common in dense housing and rental rooms. Termites and flying ants appear after the first summer rains. The surrounding farms keep grain, feed and livestock, and need rodent, insect and snake control. Pest controllers often travel in from Newcastle itself or from Gauteng and Durban for larger jobs.
Typical weed control requests in the area come from:
- Factories, warehouses and mines: total herbicide on gravel yards, rail sidings and fence lines, with residual cover for months
- 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
- Farms, grain stores and smallholdings: fire breaks, fence lines, dam walls and invasive plants cleared before the dry season
- Restaurants and food businesses: weeds cleared around buildings, bins and drains to remove cover for rodents and insects
- Offices, schools, clinics and shops: car parks, kerbs, paving and landscaped beds kept clear on a seasonal contract
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: gravel paths, paving and lawns kept neat for guests, with products suited to pets
