Understanding Cape Town's Unique Rodent Challenge
Why Rodents Thrive in the Mother City
Several key factors make Cape Town a hotspot for rodent activity year-round.
Weather & Seasonal Influences
Cape Town's mild, wet winters are a major driver for rodent infestations. As heavy rains arrive and outdoor burrows may flood, rats and mice are aggressively driven indoors seeking warmth, dry shelter, and reliable food sources. This often leads to a spike in rodent sightings inside homes and businesses between May and September.
Urban & Natural Landscape
The city's unique geography—from the slopes of Table Mountain to the bustling Port of Cape Town—creates countless rodent habitats. Historic buildings, dense suburban gardens, and commercial warehouses all provide ideal harbourage for species like the agile Roof Rat (also known as the Black Rat) and the larger Norway Rat.
Health Risks & Local History
High-density areas and restaurant strips are particularly vulnerable. Historically, as a major port, Cape Town has always had to manage rodent populations to prevent the spread of disease—a challenge that continues today. Rodents carry pathogens, contaminate food, and cause structural damage by gnawing on wires, posing a fire risk. This makes professional rodent control an essential service for public health.
