Cockroach Hell in Serbia: How to Survive This Summer’s Insect Invasion?
This summer in Serbia isn’t just hot – it’s crawling with unwanted, creepy guests! While many complain about the unbearable heat, the real nightmare for citizens is the cockroach invasion that has taken over homes across the country, especially in Novi Sad.
Cockroaches Everywhere
One woman from Novi Sad openly admitted on social media that cockroaches have literally taken over her apartment and she doesn’t know how to get rid of them. Mosquitoes, usually the main summer pest, seem to be less of a problem this year due to drought. But cockroaches? They are everywhere – in kitchens, bathrooms, even around chandeliers where they appear like tiny flies.
Other citizens from all over Serbia also complain about the insect invasion. Some say they get bitten at night leaving itchy bumps, while others notice spiders have become permanent residents in their homes, so many that they even give them names.
Fighting the Bugs and Tips
Battling cockroaches is no easy task. Many use cockroach powder daily, but the pests keep coming back. One apartment owner shared some tricks before professional pest control, while others recommend so-called cockroach balls as an effective indoor solution.
Professional pest control prices in Belgrade vary depending on the apartment size, with extra charges if the service is outside city zones. For example, a trip up to 15 kilometers outside the city costs an additional 1,000 dinars, and up to 25 kilometers costs 2,000 dinars.
Why Is This a Problem?
High temperatures and drought this year have changed the insect ecosystem. There are fewer mosquitoes, but cockroaches and other insects like stink bugs and spiders are on the rise. This is a real challenge for many households trying to keep their homes clean and peaceful.
What Do People Say?
Social media is buzzing with debates on how to deal with this problem. Some say regular cleaning and hygiene are key, while others believe professional help is necessary.
Conclusion
This summer in Serbia is not just a battle against heat but also against cockroaches that have become a true nightmare. If you thought mosquitoes were the biggest problem, think again – cockroaches are the new number one enemy.
