Amahlumela omvini abe mfushane futhi alula kakhulu namaqabunga amancane ahamba phansi. Kodwa-ke, akunaphawu olujwayelekile lokungcola kwama-margarode. Kunezinhlobo eziyishumi ezihlukahlukene ezitholakala eNingizimu Afrika, kodwa kuphela ezinhlanu zazo ezingaba nomthelela wezomnotho ngesithelo sevini. Inani elikhulu lezitshalo, ikakhulukazi utshani, lilimazekile. Ngokuthuthukiswa kwezivini ezintsha kubalulekile ukwazi ukuthi yiziphi izitshalo ezimema ama-margarodes.
Ngakho-ke, ukungcola okungokwemvelo kungavinjelwa. Umuthi wamakameli nameva (Acacia erioloba), otholakala kabanzi eMfuleni i-Orange naseMpumalanga, usanda kubonakala njengesitshalo semvelo esisodwa sezinhlobo ze-margarode. Izitshalo zemvelo zomunye uhlobo zaseNingizimu Afrika azikaziwa. Akukho ukulawulwa kwamakhemikhali okubhalisiwe okwamanje kwama-margarodes atholakalayo, kodwa kunconywa ukuthi amathayi wetirekta namanye amathuluzi ahlanzwe lapho esuka esakhiweni sevini esingcolile angena emabhuloki angenakungcola.
