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 flea control requests in the area come from:
- Homes and families: a spray of carpets, beds and the stoep, with the vet treating the pets the same day
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: guest rooms and pet-friendly cottages treated between stays, with the kennel and lawn included
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: a treatment before a new tenant moves in, with a certificate when a pet left fleas behind
- Restaurants and food businesses: rare indoors, but staff areas, storerooms and the yard are treated where a stray animal visits
- Exporters and freight forwarders: seldom needed, except staff housing and offices at depots where strays shelter
- Factories, warehouses and mines: yards, loading areas and guard huts where stray animals bring fleas near staff
- Offices, schools, clinics and shops: carpet and upholstery treatment where an office dog or a stray cat has been
