Are there any unusual problems with insects or other infestations in housing?
Lots of ants in the house especially when it's hot and they are searching for water or sugary foods. During the summer there is often an issue with cockroaches that come up through the drains. Unfortunately, there is a rat issue in the neighborhoods but it doesn't impact most houses. The consulate comes by for annual pest control. - Mar 2026

ROACHES! Walking on the streets close to the consulate, you see dead roaches all the time. We had roaches and ants in our house. We got some insecticide and the ants went away but the roaches have never gone away. We had to put all food in containers and even resorted to keeping dishes in the dish washer after running the dish washer every night because we kept finding roaches and roach feces in the kitchen cabinets. - Feb 2016
