Integrated Pest Solutions provide eco friendly solutions
IPS employs an integrated pest programme approach that complies with international health and safety regulations.
Up until the 1970’s, the pest control industry relied almost exclusively on the routine application of pesticides to control insect pests. With the public’s growing concern over this chemical approach, an alternative Pest Management (I.P.M) system was introduced. The principles used in I.P.M focus’s on structural changes, improving sanitation and modifying habits and behavioral patterns. Concurrent with the introduction of I.P.M, techniques and equipment were being developed which enabled skilled operators to totally eliminate insect pests. This was in response to the demand for a pest free environment within commercial industries such as hospitals, hotels, restaurants, and food processing/ warehouse establishments. IPS’s use of this I.P.M system, in conjunction with our own eco-friendly methods and our exceptional service has assisted us in setting the bench mark in the pest control industry.
IPS provides specialist eco friendly and safe management of rodents, cockroaches and termites in Durban

Issue 1
Nobody wanted to buy the ground because it was just a big hole. Eventually a man bought this ground and filled the hole…. and so began the story of the self storage industry in South Africa.
Danny Weiner had lived in Canada and travelled the States, where he saw self storage facilities catering mainly for the seasonal storage of goods for smaller homes. At the time he thought “What a good idea.”
When Danny came back to South Africa, he was in the transport business. In 1980 Mr Weiner bought the Gosforth Park ‘hole in the ground’ land that nobody else wanted from a mining company. For a while it lay unutilised.
Gosforth Park was supposed to be a suburb, but then the government cut a highway through to the township nearby. An opportunity arose to do warehousing. Danny, together with his town planner friend, gave Germiston town council a proposal and was granted permission to proclaim Gosforth Park an industrial area.
In 1986 Danny built a 30 000m
warehouse. So began ‘Woods Warehousing’, lying on the historical Gold Reef of Johannesburg, atop the cavernous tunnels of a network of old minefields.
While doing warehousing, Danny dealt with a lot of personal effects for people. During this time, Danny realised how expensive it was for the man on the streets to store goods and furniture.
An idea in the back of his mind suddenly stirred, and in 1997 Danny built 2 rows of self storage units, starting the first self storage facility in South Africa. As they filled up, Danny –urged on by his daughter Lee —would build another row. So began Woods Self Storage, built on row by row. Today there are 1000units.
Well…..it takes a visionary to take a hole in the ground and pioneer an entire industry!

SELF STORAGE FACILITIES AS DUMP YARDS…
NOW THAT’S SECURITY!
Security should be of the highest concern for a self storage facility and the self storage industry as a whole.
Mike Trollip from Store Some More says: “There is only one thing that you want when you store your goods, you want to know that your goods are safe”
At Store Some More, there are 6 layers of barriers to pass before accessing a storage unit: 1. palisade fencing 2. electric fencing 3. beams 4. building is locked 5. alarm system 6. Then each unit is locked. In addition to which there are guards and off-site monitoring cameras.
Now that’s security!!

There are perceptions of storage facilities as dump yards and this has a connotation for storage that you can use it for illegal purposes.
Cops, border police and customs officials will forcibly open a storage unit if they suspect that there are unwanted goods in your facility.
When you sign an agreement with your client, it is a binding contract, and under this agreement, you should try to protect your customer. However, if the customer knowingly brings in goods that are a risk, the facility manager should do the following:
STEPS:
1. To your best ability, keep client’s personal details confidential.
2. Phone client and tell client that law enforcement agency is on premises and to please come and meet with them.
3. If client doesn’t arrive, then you’ve done what you can to help them.
The law enforcement agency will then open the unit under certain sections of certain laws with or without a search warrant and then take the necessary steps to safeguard the goods. i.e. remove the goods from the premises — usually to a government warehouse . You will be given the necessary documentation for removal which can be handed to the client if he is not present.

SELF STORAGE INDUSTRY’S ‘DID YOU KNOW’
Countries with largest self storage industries worldwide:
- USA is first
In this issue:
STORAGE A TO Z
- Canada is second
- Australasia third
- UK fourth
- South Africa fifth
Storage facilities are soft targets for rogue elements due to:
1. A breach that occurs when information is given out by individuals.
2. E.g. did you know that If a customer doesn’t deliver personally and has drivers, that is where 90% of leakages occur.
3. Private individuals may act for a brand holder and may buy information from workers at facilities, who give them the necessary information to pass onto certain law enforcement agencies, who will then act.
When the goods are removed, the individual will contact the brand holder and then he will be compensated by the brand holder for the removal of illegitimate goods that would have otherwise landed on the street.
Therefore storage facilities should be alerted to these kind of operators.
SOFT TARGETS FOR ROGUE ELEMENTS
Safety in the security industry starts with your facility and its workers. It is a trust relationship you have to have, and on the other hand, you want to trust that your client is not going to bring in unacceptable items.
