Pests and properties in Kariega

Kariega, once Uitenhage, sits on a flat, drier plain inland of Algoa Bay, with hot summers and mild winters. It is known for the motor industry, and component makers, warehouses and food suppliers use regular pest control, with rodent and cockroach control as the usual needs and records often requested for audits. Dense housing in KwaNobuhle and older homes in the town centre see cockroaches, bed bugs, rodents and termites. Farms in the Sundays River and Langkloof areas, citrus packhouses and grain and feed stores call for rodent and insect control. Containers for export often go through Gqeberha or Coega, and teams commonly work from Kariega or the Gqeberha metro.
