Pests and properties in Tzaneen
Tzaneen is a warm, humid subtropical town among the avocado, mango, banana and citrus farms of the Letaba valley, so pests are active for most of the year. Fruit and packing sheds fight rats, flies and fruit-attracting insects, and the export growers need clean records for their buyers. Cockroaches, termites, ants and mosquitoes trouble homes in town, and snakes and bees are frequent call-outs on farms and plots. Parts of Limpopo are malaria areas, so ask an operator and a health professional about mosquito control and precautions. Lodges and guesthouses at Magoebaskloof and Haenertsburg also book service. Operators work from Tzaneen and Polokwane, about an hour away.
Typical wood borer treatment requests in the area come from:
