A SPOKESMAN FOR THE DEPARTMENT SAID TODAY (WEDNESDAY) THAT THE CAMPAIGN, BEARING THE THEME "CLEAN HOME ENVIRONMENT KEEPS PEST AWAY" + WAS ORGANISED WITH THE SPONSORSHIP OF THE URBAN COUNCIL AND REGIONAL COUNCIL.

"HOME PESTS LIKE COCKROACHES, FLEAS, MITES AND ANTS NOT ONLY CAUSE ANNOYANCE AND NUISANCE, THEY CAN BE VECTORS FOR THE TRANSMISSION OF DISEASES," HE SAID.
