Pests and properties in Stellenbosch
Stellenbosch has a Mediterranean climate, with cool wet winters and hot dry summers, and pests follow the seasons: rodents indoors in winter, Argentine ants, flies and wasps in summer. Student housing, rental flats and guesthouses in the town centre, Die Boord and Cloetesville see cockroaches, bed bugs and rodents. Historic buildings and older homes may have wood borer in beams and floors, which needs careful inspection. Wine estates, cellars, restaurants and tasting rooms expect discreet, food-safe treatments, and farms nearby deal with rodents, snakes and fruit pests. Exporters of fruit and wine sometimes ask about container fumigation through Cape Town. Teams normally travel in from Stellenbosch, Somerset West or Bellville.
