Mayor speaks tsikidzi infestation in Mbare

𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 We have confirmed the existence of bed bug (tsikidzi) infestation in Mbare and the City of Harare will immediately take action through a comprehensive approach of spraying the areas affected. The City of Harare Pest Control Section has already been on the ground to assess the situation with a view of mobilizing equipment and resources needed to attend to the bed bug. The City teams will start spraying on Monday 7 April 2025 at Mbare Matererini and Matapi Flats. Residents in the areas mentioned should prepare and cooperate with our teams starting early morning. The teams will also be conducting awareness campaigns on factors that accelerate such infestations eg overcrowding and how to prevent infestations even in these overcrowded areas. Community volunteers are going to be required for optimum spraying coverage. It is therefore important for residents in and around Mbare Flats and other areas to be aware of the factors that lead to such infestations. Residents are also urged to help control the spreads through extensive community participation. Spraying alone will not solve this problem. Bed bugs hide in small crevices on beds, sofas, wardrobes, walls etc thus regular physical cleaning is required where chemicals can't reach. More information will be availed on the issue.
