Pests and properties in Germiston

Germiston is one of the East Rand's oldest industrial towns, and its pest work follows the factories, rail yards and worker housing. Wadeville, Isando and Jet Park have food processors, warehouses and workshops that need documented pest programmes, with rodents, cockroaches, stored product insects and birds the main concerns. Older suburbs such as Primrose, Lambton and Dinwiddie have small homes and flats with cockroach and rodent problems, while Bedfordview homes with big gardens see termites and ants. Rodents follow the rail lines and drains, and flying ants swarm after the first summer rains. Clients are factory managers, landlords, restaurants and homeowners, and many pest controllers work from depots along the East Rand.

Typical wood borer treatment requests in the area come from:

• Factories, warehouses and mines: roof trusses, wooden crates and old wooden floors in warehouses and workshops
• Restaurants and food businesses: wooden shelving, pallets and old buildings checked, with fumigation where food is stored nearby
• Landlords, agents and body corporates: checks for landlords of older properties, with treatment between tenants and a dated report
• Homes and families: a roof void inspection, timber injection and a certificate when buying or selling an older house
• 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
• Exporters and freight forwarders: wooden crates and pallets that must meet ISPM 15 heat treatment or fumigation rules
