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 cockroach control requests in the area come from:
- Homes and families: a gel bait treatment of the kitchen and bathrooms, with a follow-up visit after three weeks
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: quiet night-time treatments of kitchens, laundries and rooms for guesthouses and hotels
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: treatment between tenants and across a whole block, so roaches do not move from unit to unit
- Restaurants and food businesses: bait stations, crack treatment and records for restaurants, takeaways and bakeries facing an audit
- Exporters and freight forwarders: warehouses and cold stores checked so stored cargo stays clear of roaches
- Factories, warehouses and mines: canteens, loading areas and drains treated, with cardboard storage moved off the floor
- Offices, schools, clinics and shops: tea rooms, canteens and storerooms treated after hours with low-odour baits
