Pests and properties in Roodepoort

Roodepoort covers the western edge of the Witwatersrand, from old mining suburbs to newer estates in Ruimsig and Wilgeheuwel. Around Florida, Horison and the older streets of Roodepoort proper, small houses, flats and corner shops have a steady problem with cockroaches, rodents and bed bugs. Newer developments built on former veld attract termites and snakes, and gardens near the ridges and the botanical garden see mongoose and moles. Light industry in Wilgeheuwel and Strijdom Park includes food workshops and warehouses that need regular treatments. Flying ants swarm after the first summer rains. Clients include landlords, estate managers, schools and small businesses, and local teams cover the whole West Rand.
