Pests and properties in East London
East London has a humid, warm coastal climate with rain in most months, so cockroaches, ants, termites, mosquitoes and rodents are active for long periods. Flats, homes and takeaways in Quigney, Vincent, Nahoon and Beacon Bay, guesthouses along the coast, and rental housing in Mdantsane often need cockroach, bed bug and rodent treatment. The port and the industrial development zone handle exports and imports, so container fumigation and cargo treatment are sometimes needed. Motor industry suppliers, food processors and warehouses on the Buffalo River side use regular contracts. Dairy and pineapple farms nearby also call for rodent and insect control. Teams usually work from East London or Gonubie.
Typical wood borer treatment requests in the area come from:
- Homes and families: a roof void inspection, timber injection and a certificate when buying or selling an older house
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: checks for landlords of older properties, with treatment between tenants and a dated report
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: exposed beams in lodges and thatch-roofed cottages, treated outside the busy season
- Restaurants and food businesses: wooden shelving, pallets and old buildings checked, with fumigation where food is stored nearby
- Factories, warehouses and mines: roof trusses, wooden crates and old wooden floors in warehouses and workshops
- Exporters and freight forwarders: wooden crates and pallets that must meet ISPM 15 heat treatment or fumigation rules
- Offices, schools, clinics and shops: older offices, church halls and schools with timber floors and ceilings
