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.
