*Roaches invade Cape Town*

Today we spoke to Mark Enslin the chairman of the South African Pest Control Association on the cockroach problem in Cape Town.

According to Enslin the ‘roach’ problem is due to the increase of poor sanitation, urbanization, increased economic activity and global warming.
For those with cockroach problems should be aware that the grimy creatures breed faster in summertime under warm and humid conditions.

He has advised that those with cockroach problems should seek professional help or contact the South African Pest Control Association on 021 982 0466.
