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 pest control prices requests in the area come from:
- Homes and families: a once-off flat or house treatment priced per m², usually with a follow-up visit
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: per-room bed bug pricing and scheduled visits for guesthouses and hotels
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: turnover treatments and certificates priced per unit, often with a discount for several flats
- Exporters and freight forwarders: fumigation by the container, with certificate and ventilation fees listed separately
- Restaurants and food businesses: an opening deep treatment followed by a monthly contract with station maps and reports
- Farms, grain stores and smallholdings: grain fumigation by the ton, rodent stations by the unit and call-out by kilometre
- Factories, warehouses and mines: per-station and per-m² pricing for warehouses, plus occasional fumigation by the ton
- Offices, schools, clinics and shops: a quarterly visit rate with a call-out between visits, priced by floor area
