Roaches Season Is Officially Here

Jun 27 2023

The Exterminator’s Arnold Sciberras took to social media to announce the beginning of cockroach season in Malta.

‘When we say its the season… we really mean it’, wrote the Exterminator.

‘A well established colony of American cockroach (Periplaneta americana a.k.a wirdiena ħamra) hits hard in a way that we have to do all it takes to control such an infestation.’

The video shows a massive invasion of the cockroaches, with some chilling in a sink and other creeping around a heap of items.

Arnold, of course, seems pretty unfazed with the insects, snapping his fingers at them and sending them into a mini frenzy.

What would you do in this situation? Well, not much as it’s the Exterminator who has you covered…
