The Canary Islands Health Service (SCS) reports a rise of over 70% in cockroach incidents over the past two years. These insects are active at night. They hide during the day in mattresses, furniture, and cracks.
Insecticides from the 1950s reduced their numbers. Their population is now growing again. The SCS advises against leaving suitcases on beds or floors. It is safest to use luggage racks and hang clothes in wardrobes.
Check the room before unpacking. Do not place items there if you find insect traces. Contact a pest control company if you suspect an infestation.
