Pests and properties in Gauteng

Gauteng is the busiest market for pest control in the country, with dense suburbs, flats, townships, offices and industrial parks. Summer rains on the Highveld bring flying ants, harvester termites and flies, while cockroaches and rodents are a year-round problem in blocks of flats, restaurants and food factories. Landlords, letting agents and body corporates in Johannesburg and Pretoria book regular treatments, and food manufacturers in Isando, Wadeville and Midrand need documented programmes for audits. Cold winter nights push rats and mice indoors. Bed bugs turn up in guesthouses, student housing and shared rooms. Most pest controllers work across the metro areas and travel between them daily.

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
• Restaurants and food businesses: wooden shelving, pallets and old buildings checked, with fumigation where food is stored nearby
• Offices, schools, clinics and shops: older offices, church halls and schools with timber floors and ceilings
• Factories, warehouses and mines: roof trusses, wooden crates and old wooden floors in warehouses and workshops
• Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: exposed beams in lodges and thatch-roofed cottages, treated outside the busy season
• Exporters and freight forwarders: wooden crates and pallets that must meet ISPM 15 heat treatment or fumigation rules
