Pests and properties in Paarl
Paarl lies in the Cape winelands, with wet winters and hot, dry summers. Wine estates, cellars, packhouses and fruit farms deal with rodents, fruit flies, ants and other stored product pests, and farms and guesthouses often need snake removal in summer. Rodents move into roofs and kitchens in winter, and Argentine ants invade homes in the warmer months. Older homes and Cape Dutch buildings in Paarl and Wellington can have wood borer in beams and floors. Food processors and cold stores along the N1 use regular pest control, and exporters sometimes need container fumigation, usually through Cape Town. Pest control teams usually work from Paarl, Wellington or the wider Boland.
