Pests and properties in Western Cape
The Western Cape has a Mediterranean climate, with dry summers and wet winters. Argentine ants are a common nuisance in homes and gardens, rodents move indoors when it is cold and wet, and wood borer affects older homes in the Cape Peninsula and the Winelands. Cape Town, Stellenbosch, Paarl and George have flats, student housing, guesthouses, restaurants and holiday rentals that need regular treatment, with bed bugs a concern for tourist accommodation. Fruit, wine and fish exports leave through Cape Town and Saldanha, so container fumigation and warehouse treatment are common. Farms in the Boland and Swartland need packhouse and grain store control. Peak demand follows the first winter rains and the summer holidays.
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
- Exporters and freight forwarders: staff quarters and transit accommodation near ports checked before new arrivals
- Restaurants and food businesses: staff accommodation and rest areas checked, away from the kitchen and stores
- Farms, grain stores and smallholdings: farm worker housing and seasonal staff rooms treated in rotation
- Factories, warehouses and mines: mine hostels and worker accommodation treated in blocks with repeat inspections
- Offices, schools, clinics and shops: waiting rooms, couches and sleeping quarters inspected and treated discreetly
