Pests and properties in Upington
Upington lies on the Orange River in the hot Kalahari, where irrigated vineyards, date palms and raisin farms sit beside red desert sand. Rodents follow crops and dried fruit into sheds and packing houses, birds nest on roofs and in lofts, and cockroaches and ants thrive in the heat in town homes and lodges. Snakes and scorpions are common near the river and in gardens. Raisin, grape and date exporters need fumigation and pest records for their buyers, and guesthouses and lodges around Kakamas and Keimoes book regular service. Winters are short and dry, so summer is the peak. Operators work from Upington and cover the river valley, with some coming from Kimberley.
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
- Exporters and freight forwarders: weed-free depot yards, container stacks and truck bays to cut cover for pests
- 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
- Restaurants and food businesses: weeds cleared around buildings, bins and drains to remove cover for rodents and insects
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: tidying of common areas, pavements and parking bays between tenants or before an inspection
- Factories, warehouses and mines: total herbicide on gravel yards, rail sidings and fence lines, with residual cover for months
