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 commercial pest control requests in the area come from:
- Homes and families: body corporates and complexes using a scheduled contract for common areas, bins and refuse rooms
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: quiet, scheduled visits for hotel kitchens, stores and guest rooms with records for the file
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: landlords and managing agents keeping a service history for blocks of flats
- Restaurants and food businesses: monthly contracts with bait station maps and service reports for audits and health inspections
- Exporters and freight forwarders: packing facilities and depots keeping pest records that buyers and inspectors may request
- Factories, warehouses and mines: factory and warehouse programmes with numbered stations, trend reports and documented follow-ups
- Offices, schools, clinics and shops: quarterly visits and call-outs for offices, schools and clinics using low-odour products
