Pests and properties in Stellenbosch
Stellenbosch has a Mediterranean climate, with cool wet winters and hot dry summers, and pests follow the seasons: rodents indoors in winter, Argentine ants, flies and wasps in summer. Student housing, rental flats and guesthouses in the town centre, Die Boord and Cloetesville see cockroaches, bed bugs and rodents. Historic buildings and older homes may have wood borer in beams and floors, which needs careful inspection. Wine estates, cellars, restaurants and tasting rooms expect discreet, food-safe treatments, and farms nearby deal with rodents, snakes and fruit pests. Exporters of fruit and wine sometimes ask about container fumigation through Cape Town. Teams normally travel in from Stellenbosch, Somerset West or Bellville.
Typical ant control requests in the area come from:
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: a treatment before a new tenant arrives, with a follow-up visit for returning trails
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: gardens, braai areas, pool equipment and kitchens treated without upsetting guests
- Homes and families: a kitchen bait treatment with a perimeter spray and nest drenching in the garden

- Farms, grain stores and smallholdings: farm stores, dairy sheds and orchards treated, including ants that tend aphids on crops
