Pests and properties in Cape Town
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. Older homes in Observatory, Woodstock, Claremont and the Southern Suburbs can have wood borer in timber floors and roofs. Restaurants, hotels, guesthouses and holiday rentals along the Atlantic seaboard and the city bowl need regular cockroach, rodent and bed bug control. Warehouses in Montague Gardens and Paarden Eiland, food factories and the port handle container fumigation for fruit and other exports. Teams usually work from across the metro, including the northern suburbs.
