Pests and properties in Limpopo
Limpopo is hot for much of the year, which suits termites, mosquitoes, cockroaches, ants and snakes. Polokwane, Tzaneen, Mokopane and Musina have houses, flats, student housing and fast-growing commercial areas, while game lodges and guesthouses around the Waterberg and Kruger gateways need discreet treatment for bed bugs, cockroaches and flies. Farms grow citrus, mangoes, tomatoes and maize, so packhouses, cold stores and grain stores need rodent and stored product pest control. Mines in the Bushveld and Mopani areas run hostels and canteens that need regular programmes. In malaria areas, ask a qualified person about mosquito control, and expect pests to peak after the summer rains.
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
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: exposed beams in lodges and thatch-roofed cottages, treated outside the busy season
- 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
- Exporters and freight forwarders: wooden crates and pallets that must meet ISPM 15 heat treatment or fumigation rules
