Are Ants A Problem In Malta? Some Of Them Are

May 3 2024

Speaking to MaltaDaily, Arnold Sciberras a.k.a The Exterminator explained that ants can present a problem to both the economic and residential sectors.

‘However, we cannot lump everything together’, explained Arnold.

With over 50 species of ants in Malta, forming part of the Hymenoptera family, they include species such as bees and hornets, with six to seven species presenting the biggest problems.

However, all the other species are beneficial.

Responding to further questions, some of the small black ants can present problems to gardens, pavements (as they tunnel through), food in the kitchen (contaminating it with their odours) or even to old Maltese homes.

Most species emerge at different times of the year, with those emerging during the summer period presenting problems in the hospitality sector – invading pools, kitchens and tiles.

These issues can be addressed by professionals, such as those offered by The Exterminator.

Valletta Play Last Match With Average Age Of 20

May 3 2024

Valletta FC relied on their youthful talents in their final Premier League appearance, aiming for a swift return after relegation.

Buoyed by their young players’ contributions against Gudja United, the team bid farewell to the league with a victory, showcasing promise despite a disappointing season. Fielding their youngest-ever lineup, with an average age of just 20, Valletta included several Youth League champions in their squad.

Prior to kickoff, they paid tribute to former striker and coach Danilo Doncic. The match saw Valletta dominate, with goals from Shaun Dimech, Klose Azzopardi Conti, and Keyon Ewurum.

Although Gudja United managed to score, they struggled against Valletta’s youthful energy. Valletta’s victory, however, was overshadowed by their upcoming FA Trophy semifinal clash against Birkirkara.

Despite resting key players, Sliema comfortably defeated Sirens, with Danil Kondrakov scoring a brace and Neil Frendo adding another. The win marked Sliema’s 14th of the season, reaching the 50-point mark.

While the match lacked intensity, it provided valuable preparation for the upcoming semifinal showdown. Despite lineup changes, Sliema capitalized on a weakened Sirens side to secure a convincing victory.
