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. Exporters of fruit usually use Cape Town for container fumigation. Teams normally work from Worcester or Paarl, with farm visits planned around harvest.
Typical weed control requests in the area come from:
- Farms, grain stores and smallholdings: fire breaks, fence lines, dam walls and invasive plants cleared before the dry season
- Restaurants and food businesses: weeds cleared around buildings, bins and drains to remove cover for rodents and insects
- Homes and families: weeds killed in paving and driveways, a selective lawn treatment or a cleared boundary strip
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: tidying of common areas, pavements and parking bays between tenants or before an inspection
- Factories, warehouses and mines: total herbicide on gravel yards, rail sidings and fence lines, with residual cover for months
- Exporters and freight forwarders: weed-free depot yards, container stacks and truck bays to cut cover for pests
- Hotels, guesthouses and lodges: gravel paths, paving and lawns kept neat for guests, with products suited to pets
