One pretty cool part of my job at American Pest Management allows me to travel around the world to do training at embassies for the Department of State. As a company we have made around 70 official visits to either Embassies or Consulates around the world.
Last week we visited Cairo, Egypt for our third time to hold a training seminar. As usual we had a great time and met some tremendous folks who work overseas for the US Government.
So what about the bugs in Egypt? Guess what they have them too. Actually we find that most every Capital city in the world has similar pest problems. Last week we found plenty of American Cockroaches living in the sewer system. Ants were all over the place on the exterior of the buildings but didn’t seem to be invading the inside at this point in time. We found one swimming pool that had been drained for maintenance that was writhing with Mosquito larva. We actually find this a lot, make sure if you have a swimming pool and for some reason you stop operating it normally that you get the mosquito issue under control. Hmm just thought of something I don’t think we saw a rat while we were there. I almost always see one on each trip. I know they were around, just didn’t run into one I guess.
Well that’s the Cairo, Egypt bug report. I’d say they are pretty much on par with D.C. as far as bugs. Now traffic is a different story. The traffic there is horrible. Makes DC traffic a pleasure.

I was wondering if your product would be for sale in Cairo? I haven’t found anything suitable yet for getting rid of ants. Only sprays. Advise please. Kind regards, Margreet
