No, Salobreña is not going to war with telephone sales for mobile companies – we’re talking about another kind of pest: bugs!

Mix high temperatures and plenty of damp; i.e., drains in summer, and you have a plague of cockroaches and other beasties, for which reason the Town Hall is carrying out a de-infestation campaign around town.

The Town Hall has hired the private company, Sanisur, not only to carry out a blitz on bugs but also to go after mice and rats.

The operation started today, Monday the 2nd and should conclude tomorrow, Tuesday the 23rd, so on Wednesday, the only invasion will be of tourists, because it’s San Juan, and it’s no good going after them with a can of fly spray…
