Pest control to exterminate cockroaches at U of R

The University of Regina is hoping that some unwanted visitors in the Riddell Centre will bugger off.

According to an email to students from the university’s facilities management, exterminators will be spraying select areas of the building Sunday night after cockroaches were found earlier in the week.

That will close part of the food court until Monday morning.

It’s not the first time pest control has been called to the building.

The critters were spotted trapped there back in September. The email says the roaches have been contained to that area.

To prevent pests, the campus community is being advised to keep doors shut, keep food sealed and to throw it out properly.
