It’s a new week, vacation time 🏖️✈️for many people around the🌍.
What remains unchanged though, is that pests🪲🐜 know no borders.
⚠️Due to international travel and trade, they’re moving faster and farther. You can help prevent pest spread by travelling with care.

Found these cups littered in #martlesham on the opposite side of town.
