Pests and properties in Cape Town
Cape Town has a Mediterranean climate with wet, cool winters and hot, dry summers. In winter rodents move into roofs and kitchens, and in summer Argentine ants, flies, fleas and cockroaches become busy. Older homes in Observatory, Woodstock, Claremont and the Southern Suburbs can have wood borer in timber floors and roofs. Restaurants, hotels, guesthouses and holiday rentals along the Atlantic seaboard and the city bowl need regular cockroach, rodent and bed bug control. Warehouses in Montague Gardens and Paarden Eiland, food factories and the port handle container fumigation for fruit and other exports. Teams usually work from across the metro, including the northern suburbs.
Typical bed bug treatment requests in the area come from:
- Homes and families: a bedroom treatment with a mattress encasement and a second visit about two weeks later
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: room and adjoining-room treatments, with an inspection log for hotels, lodges and guesthouses
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: treatment between tenants and neighbouring units, with a report for the lease file
- Restaurants and food businesses: staff accommodation and rest areas checked, away from the kitchen and stores
- Exporters and freight forwarders: staff quarters and transit accommodation near ports checked before new arrivals
