In Šabac, there has been a cockroach infestation with insects appearing on building facades, balconies, and inside apartments, including a child’s bed. The problem is due to insufficient disinsection measures in residential buildings. Veterinarian Petar Pušić points out that the invasion is a consequence of underdeveloped communal hygiene and neglect, and that regular disinsection twice a year would prevent reproduction. Building managers are responsible for organizing disinsection, but inspections are irregular. The cost of disinsection is low, but individual actions are ineffective as cockroaches seek better conditions and spread throughout the neighborhood.
Political Perspectives:
Left: Left-leaning sources emphasize the role of inadequate public services and communal hygiene in causing the cockroach infestation. They highlight the neglect by local authorities and the need for systemic improvements in public health measures and regular disinsection to protect residents, especially vulnerable groups like children.
Center: Center-leaning sources report the facts of the infestation and the expert opinions on its causes, focusing on the practical aspects such as the responsibility of building managers and the low cost of disinsection. They stress the importance of regular maintenance and communal cooperation to resolve the issue effectively.
Right: Right-leaning sources may focus on individual responsibility and the role of property managers in organizing disinsection. They might emphasize the cost-effectiveness of the measures and criticize any bureaucratic inefficiencies or lack of enforcement by local authorities, advocating for stricter control and accountability.
