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 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
- Exporters and freight forwarders: seldom needed, except staff housing and offices at depots where strays shelter
- Restaurants and food businesses: rare indoors, but staff areas, storerooms and the yard are treated where a stray animal visits
- Farms, grain stores and smallholdings: kennels, dog sleeping areas and farmhouse floors, using products suited to working dogs
- 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
