Pests and properties in Welkom
Welkom is a goldfields town on the flat northern Free State plain, with hot summers, cold dry winters and large farms of maize and sunflower around it. Rodents follow grain and feed into stores and homes, and cockroaches and ants are constant in kitchens and flats. Mine hostels, compounds, guesthouses and rental rooms in Thabong and Virginia need bulk cockroach, bed bug and rat control. Ageing buildings and empty properties bring pigeons and rodents, so bird proofing and cleaning are common requests. Farmers book grain store and silo fumigation after harvest. Operators serve the area from Welkom itself and from Bloemfontein, with Klerksdorp crews sometimes covering the north.
Typical wood borer treatment requests in the area come from:
- Factories, warehouses and mines: roof trusses, wooden crates and old wooden floors in warehouses and workshops
- Homes and families: a roof void inspection, timber injection and a certificate when buying or selling an older house
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: checks for landlords of older properties, with treatment between tenants and a dated report
- Farms, grain stores and smallholdings: homestead roofs, barns and farm furniture, treated with injection and surface products
- Restaurants and food businesses: wooden shelving, pallets and old buildings checked, with fumigation where food is stored nearby
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: exposed beams in lodges and thatch-roofed cottages, treated outside the busy season
- Offices, schools, clinics and shops: older offices, church halls and schools with timber floors and ceilings
