Pests and properties in Free State
The Free State is grain country, with maize, wheat, sunflower and livestock farms around Bloemfontein, Bethlehem, Welkom, Kroonstad and Sasolburg. Silos, grain stores, feed mills and farm sheds attract rodents, weevils and moths, so grain store fumigation and rodent control are common requests. Summer storms bring termites, flying ants and flies, and cold dry winters push rats and mice into houses and flats. Bloemfontein has student housing, offices and hospitals, and Sasolburg and Welkom have industrial plants and mine hostels with regular programmes. Guesthouses along the N1 route book bed bug and cockroach treatment. Distances are long, so ask early and plan treatments before harvest.
Typical wood borer treatment requests in the area come from:
- Farms, grain stores and smallholdings: homestead roofs, barns and farm furniture, treated with injection and surface products
- Homes and families: a roof void inspection, timber injection and a certificate when buying or selling an older house
- Factories, warehouses and mines: roof trusses, wooden crates and old wooden floors in warehouses and workshops
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: checks for landlords of older properties, with treatment between tenants and a dated report
- Restaurants and food businesses: wooden shelving, pallets and old buildings checked, with fumigation where food is stored nearby
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: exposed beams in lodges and thatch-roofed cottages, treated outside the busy season
- Offices, schools, clinics and shops: older offices, church halls and schools with timber floors and ceilings
