Gqeberha: All five work descriptions explicitly naming ants in a review of True Clean's records also name cockroaches. The small finding highlights a useful booking question: is the household reporting one pest, or several different problems? The five descriptions show how different pest concerns can appear in the same request for work. They are examples from the company's records, rather than a measure of how often the two pests occur together across Port Elizabeth. For the customer, the practical point is to name everything being seen. Ant trails at a skirting board and cockroaches behind a fridge should both be mentioned, rather than compressed into a request for a general spray. True Clean's current ant guidance follows activity through the building and outside. Skirting gaps, window sills, wall cracks, paving and the ground beside the foundations can all help establish the route. Ants emerging beside the kitchen floor do not necessarily have their colony at that visible opening. Outside moisture and access can matter too. A leaking tap or a tree touching the roof gives the operator something specific to investigate. The assessment helps decide where bait or other treatment is appropriate. The company's historical replies also record weather affecting the work. In one exchange, outside spraying was deferred because of rain while some other areas had been treated. The example shows why the planned areas and any return arrangements need discussing, rather than assuming every part of the job can happen together. Current guidance describes a usual ant follow-up about two weeks later. Diederik Visser has seen some cases settle after the first treatment and others need several visits. A large colony taking all the bait is one reason to check the response. Customers are shown where bait has been placed. The small droplets can look like dewdrops and be mistaken for something to wipe away, so cleaning instructions are part of the service …
True Clean’s Cockroach Records Highlight Follow-up Work
Gqeberha: Twelve of 55 cockroach-related work descriptions reviewed in True Clean's records explicitly mention a follow-up. The local pest control business is using that detail to explain what it checks after the first treatment. The descriptions come from records dated between October 2025 and September 2026. They cover recorded work, including return visits, rather than 55 separate infestations. A description that does not mention a return visit does not establish whether one took place. The useful detail is what the follow-up is intended to check. True Clean's current cockroach service includes a follow-up a week after the initial treatment. The questions at that visit are practical: is bait left, has it been eaten, and where are cockroaches still appearing? In his published account of severe infestations, Diederik Visser describes cases where all the bait was eaten within three days and more had to be placed. That is a field observation from particular cases, rather than a prediction for every kitchen. The initial inspection looks beyond the visible counter surfaces. Behind the fridge, around the microwave and beneath kitchen cupboards can be important hiding places. The kick plate along the bottom of fitted cupboards can conceal a protected cavity that a quick look inside the cupboard misses. The work can include flushing accessible hiding places and vacuuming the cockroaches as they emerge, followed by suitable baiting. The response to bait matters: bait that is not being eaten is not automatically proof of insecticide resistance. Where activity continues in a flat, the company also considers incoming cockroaches and access to shared areas. A neighbouring source and a population breeding inside the kitchen are different situations to investigate. True Clean's published experience allows up to three weeks for control in some cases, with heavier or continuing problems requiring further assessment. That is not a fixed clearance promise. …

True Clean’s Rodent Records Put Refills in Focus
Gqeberha: Refilling appears in 57 of 71 rodent-related work descriptions reviewed in True Clean's records, putting the less visible maintenance side of rat and mouse control in focus. The records reviewed are dated between September 2025 and October 2026. Ten descriptions mention the roof, adding another practical detail about where the work was being discussed. The figures count written work descriptions, which can include repeat work at the same property. They help explain why placing equipment is only part of a control plan. True Clean's historical customer correspondence adds another detail: one quotation listed eight traps in a roof, with installation, a second service and removal recorded separately. That was a particular historical proposal, not a standard package for every property. The company's current rodent guidance starts with where the animals have been seen or heard and how they are entering. Diederik Visser checks droppings, entry holes and the dark marks that can indicate a regularly used route. For roof activity, the inspection follows the route from the ground upwards. Rainwater downpipes, electrical and plumbing pipework, overhanging trees and gaps around unfinished walls can all need checking. A noise above a bedroom does not necessarily reveal the route into the building. Closing accessible entry points and arranging necessary building repairs form part of that discussion. Baiting does not repair a damaged door or close an opening left elsewhere in the property. Follow-up timing also varies. True Clean's published guidance describes checks after seven days for a very heavy infestation, around a month for some other jobs, and ongoing three-monthly visits at some properties. Those are examples of site-specific planning, rather than one timetable for every household. The refill entries make a useful distinction for anyone comparing quotes: ask what equipment is proposed, what will be checked, and how further servicing is …

True Clean Asks Sellers to Clarify Borer Paperwork Early
Gqeberha: A wood borer inspection appointment and the certificate arrangements are connected parts of a property sale. Sellers can make the booking clearer by supplying the paperwork request at the start, says True Clean. The Port Elizabeth business's historical correspondence includes questions about when certificates are issued, who should receive them and how the office coordinates with attorneys. Those exchanges show that arranging entry to the property is only part of the conversation. The company's Odoo export also contains inspection descriptions recorded with clearance and certificate wording. Some historical lines combine borer inspection and gas work. A combined record does not explain every requirement for a new sale, so the current request needs to be specific about which inspection and document are needed. True Clean asks customers to provide the property address, their deadline and what the attorney or agent has requested. If the instruction refers to several certificates, identifying the wood borer requirement helps define this appointment's purpose. Sellers should also confirm who needs the resulting document and raise any questions about its delivery when booking. If a copy is needed by the seller as well as the attorney, make that clear. Confirm the applicable document and payment arrangements for the present booking. The inspection findings still matter. True Clean's current guidance says certificate requirements and further work need to be confirmed for the property, and an automatic issue date is not promised before the visit. Access needs the same attention as the paperwork. Locked rooms and outbuildings should be discussed in advance, with someone available to open them during the inspection. Bringing the requested scope, deadline and access arrangements into one booking conversation gives the business the information it needs to plan the visit and explain the next steps. Owners and agents can find service details and …

True Clean Separates Furniture Concerns From House Inspections
Gqeberha: A wood borer enquiry can concern a chair, a frame or timber within a building. True Clean is encouraging residents to say which one they mean when asking for help. The distinction comes from the company's own business history. Customer conversations include questions about loose wooden items as well as property inspections. Historical Odoo descriptions separately record furniture treatment and work involving supporting building timbers, alongside inspection-and-certificate entries. Those records show why “wood borer” alone is an incomplete description of the work being requested. A photograph of a chair and an enquiry about a roof beam begin with different objects, access arrangements and questions about scope. True Clean's current published service focuses on inspections and certificates. Customers with a furniture concern should explain the item and ask what assessment or next step is available before arranging transport or assuming a treatment service is included. Someone requesting a property-sale certificate should provide the property address, the deadline and what the attorney or agent has asked for. If loose furniture is also a concern, it should be raised separately so the requested work can be clarified. When enquiring, describe the item, where it is and what has been noticed. Mention any previous treatment so it can be discussed alongside the present concern. Confirm the proposed next step before moving furniture or making arrangements for work. For a concern within the building, residents should identify the timber and its location. The company's current guidance describes visual checks of accessible timber and an explanation of any concealed or inaccessible areas. The next step depends on the findings and the confirmed scope. A general enquiry about borer does not, on its own, establish a treatment method, a quotation or what a certificate will cover. Residents can read the current service information on True Clean's …

True Clean Looks Beyond the First Timber Concern
Gqeberha: A concern about one skirting board can start a wood borer enquiry. The scope of a property inspection needs a wider conversation, says True Clean. The Port Elizabeth business asks owners to show the timber that first caught their attention. Its current inspection guidance also explains that the team tries to visually inspect every piece of timber it can access across the property. That can include roof timbers, floors, skirtings and staircases, together with accessible wooden elements outside. The inspection's reach depends on what can be seen and accessed at the time. True Clean's historical customer conversations discuss concerns in skirtings and other building timbers. Its Odoo work descriptions also include particular supporting timbers, alongside more general inspection entries. The detail matters because a broad description such as “borer at the house” does not tell the inspector which timber prompted the call. Owners can help by explaining where the concern is, which piece of wood is involved and whether access is available. That gives the inspector a starting point while leaving the findings to the inspection. It also separates two questions that can get combined during an enquiry: where the owner has noticed a problem, and which timber the inspector has actually been able to examine. A visual inspection cannot describe concealed timber as checked. If an area is closed up or inaccessible, that limit needs explaining. The report and discussion should reflect the accessible scope of the visit. For buyers and sellers arranging a certificate, the attorney's or agent's requested scope should be available when the appointment is booked. For an owner investigating a particular concern, showing the location helps make the conversation specific. True Clean explains its findings and any access limits before discussing the next steps for the property. Information about the service and booking arrangements is available on True …

True Clean Explains What a Wood Borer Inspection Pays For
Gqeberha - Paying for a wood borer inspection does not decide what the inspector will find. True Clean is explaining the difference between booking an assessment, receiving a clearance certificate and arranging any further work a property may need. The Port Elizabeth business's customer correspondence includes questions about whether the inspection charge covers treatment. Its replies distinguish the visit and assessment from work needed if activity is found. That distinction also appears in the company's historical work records. Descriptions include borer beetle inspections, inspections recorded as clear with a certificate, and entries describing work on particular timbers. These describe different parts of the process, rather than one service that automatically includes every possible outcome. For a seller working towards a transfer deadline, the useful first question is what the inspection covers. The next is what happens if the findings call for further attention. True Clean's current guidance describes a visual inspection of accessible timber. The company explains what was found, where it was found and any limits caused by concealed or inaccessible areas. Certificate requirements and further work need to be confirmed for the property. A booking therefore starts with the property address, the deadline and what the attorney or estate agent has requested. Customers should also describe any suspected activity and mention areas that may be difficult to access. An inspection appointment is a chance to establish the findings. An automatic certificate issue date cannot be promised before the property has been seen. True Clean publishes its inspection-and-certificate price and separate travel information online. Owners can check the current amount and confirm the proposed work before booking, rather than relying on an old quotation or assuming treatment is included. Service details are available on True Clean's wood borer inspection and …

More Than 10 000 Developers Gear up for the 2026 Fnb App of the Year Hackathon
Three days. One challenge: build an app that makes a difference. One of South Africa’s biggest hackathons returns from 23 to 25 October, challenging developers to build apps that address everyday problems. JOHANNESBURG: More than 10 000 developers have registered to participate in this year’s FNB App of the Year Hackathon, making it one of the biggest hackathons in South Africa. Taking place from Friday, 23 October to Sunday, 25 October 2026, the event will bring together developers and aspiring technology entrepreneurs to turn their ideas into practical digital solutions. The hackathon will run virtually throughout the weekend, challenging participants to put their coding skills, creativity and problem-solving abilities to work. From helping a young person find work to making it easier for a small business to get paid, the focus is on technology that serves a clear purpose. Participants will choose a problem statement and develop an app that responds to the needs of the people facing that challenge. This year’s problem statements cover access to higher education, youth employment and work readiness, youth entrepreneurship and small-business growth, financial inclusion and money confidence, safer communities and gender-based violence response, and climate resilience and essential services. These challenges ask developers to consider affordability, accessibility and the practical realities of the communities they aim to serve. “Having more than 10 000 developers registered reflects the appetite to put digital skills into action. The next step is to turn that enthusiasm into solutions that people find useful. Through the FNB App of the Year Hackathon, we want participants to think about the person behind every problem: the young jobseeker, the small-business owner or the student trying to access education. When developers build with those needs in mind, they give their ideas a stronger foundation for lasting impact,” says Janis Robson, Business …
