Pests and properties in Worcester
Worcester sits in the Breede River valley, a warm, dry farming region with hot summers, cold wet winters and frost on the surrounding mountains. Fruit and wine farms, packhouses, cold stores and cellars face rodents, fruit flies, ants and stored product pests, and snake removal is often needed in warm months. In winter rodents move into roofs and kitchens, and in summer flies and ants are more active. Homes and rental housing in Worcester, Avian Park and Zwelethemba, and eateries, shops and clinics, call for cockroach and rodent control.
