\"Insects\"<\/p>\n

INWONERS van Flamingo- rylaan in Astonbaai is moedeloos nadat swerms insekte \u2013 wat aanvanklik soos muskiete gelyk het \u2013 by hulle intrek geneem het. <\/p>\n

\u2019n Radelose Christa Blom het Kouga Express<\/span> gekontak om te berig oor die plaag nadat hulle glo al die afgelope twee jaar van bakboord na stuurboord gestuur word, van die een plaaslike owerheid na die ander \u2013 sonder enige sukses. <\/p>\n

Die Blom-gesin woon al 21 jaar lank in dieselfde huis nadat hulle hier kom aftree het. Hulle meen dat die inseklewe nog altyd bedrywig was vanwe\u00eb die ligging van hul huis \u2013 naby die strandmeer, maar ongeveer twee jaar terug het daar \u2019n ander euwel hul klein koppies begin uitsteek. <\/p>\n

Met die aankoms by die Blom-woning is dit amper soos iets uit \u2019n wetenskapfiksie-rolprent \u2013 swerms op swerms vlie\u00ebnde goggas wat soos muskiete lyk, maar nie byt nie. <\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Swerms lyk soos draaikolke wat plek-plek staan en draai in die straat af. <\/div>\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Volgens Christa bestee hulle maandeliks honderde rande aan insekdoders en -verweerders en ten spyte daarvan kan hulle glad nie hulle buite-braai of wasgoeddrade gebruik nie. <\/p>\n

\u201cOns kan nie \u2019n venster oopmaak nie. Ons het permanent \u2019n minimum van drie elektroniese muskietafweerders wat aan is en slaap met muskietspirale wat brand. Dit kos \u2019n klomp geld en is glad nie goed vir ons gesondheid nie. Saans as ons dit net durf waag om \u2019n venster oop te maak as ons slaap gaan die goggas in ons neusgate en ore in. Dis ondraaglik.<\/p>\n

\u201cDie hele straat kla en al ons bure is bejaardes. Dit is \u2019n skande dat mense op hulle oudag so moet leef.\u201d<\/p>\n

Volgens haar het die departement van omgewingsake al twee keer mense gestuur om te kom kyk en hulle was uiters geskok oor die plaag.<\/p>\n

\u2019n Buurman, Mike Corrigan, het beaam dat hy net so erg onder die plaag deurloop.<\/p>\n

Die Kouga-munisipaliteit s\u00ea hulle is be-wus van die probleem.<\/p>\n

Kouga Gemeenskapsdienste-portefeulje-raadslid, Daniel Benson, het ges\u00ea, \u201cKouga-munisipaliteit het alle moontlikhede ondersoek om die probleem veilig en effektief aan te spreek. Ons het die spesifieke eiendom besoek, vergesel deur die Departement van Omgewingsake en spesialiste in plaagbeheer.<\/p>\n

\u201cOns moet beide die inwoners en omgewing beskerm, soveel as wat ons die klaer wil help.<\/p>\n

\u201cOns kan geen plaagdoder spuit nie, aangesien dit die sensitiewe ekostelsel negatief sal be\u00efnvloed. Dit sal nie net die muggies doodmaak nie, maar ook onder meer die vo\u00ebls en visse in die omgewing.<\/p>\n

\u201cDit kan ook \u2019n negatiewe uitwerking op inwoners h\u00ea, aangesien dit die water en lug sal besoedel.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
