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.

Restaurants, hotels, guesthouses and holiday rentals along the Atlantic seaboard and the city bowl need regular cockroach, rodent and bed bug control.

Teams usually work from across the metro, including the northern suburbs.
