Sydney's Hidden Horror: Cockroach Highways Discovered Under City Streets

Sydney Cockroach Crisis: Expert Warns of 'Highways' Infesting Homes Sydney, Australia – Residents are facing an alarming cockroach infestation, with pest control expert Christopher Moschella revealing the unsettling source: a network of hidden sewage and World War II tunnels beneath the city's streets. Moschella recently visited a Rockdale property where a resident complained of a significant cockroach problem. Upon inspection, Moschella discovered an access point to these underground tunnels, teeming with cockroaches. "There's a lot of sewage tunnels and old World War II tunnels hidden underneath the streets that we don't know about," Moschella told Yahoo News Australia. "And those places are just riddled with rats and cockroaches." While eliminating the cockroaches in the tunnels is impossible due to the risk of contaminating waterways, Moschella stresses the importance of preventative measures for homes. "If you've got one near your home, there's almost a 100% chance you're going to see cockroaches all the time," he stated, adding that regular pest control treatments are crucial. Moschella's discovery serves as a stark reminder of the hidden dangers lurking beneath our feet and the importance of proactive pest control to protect homes and public health.
