Residents in the Parco De Lucia and via Ferdinando d'Aragona area of Santa Maria a Vico have reported an increasing presence of cockroaches and grasshoppers lasting for about a month, according to Il Mattino Caserta.
The residents have asked the municipality to investigate the origin of the problem and take effective measures. The requests reported include inspecting the sewer network, treating the affected areas, identifying the causes of the proliferation, and monitoring the situation after any interventions.
During a cockroach-control treatment in a building near via Ferdinando d'Aragona, numerous insects were reportedly seen emerging from sewer pipes. That observation has been cited by residents as part of their concern, although no official inspection has established that the sewer network caused the proliferation.
Opposition councillor Carmine De Lucia of "Idea Comune" publicly relayed the residents' complaints, amplifying their call for a concrete and definitive intervention.
The number of affected residents and buildings has not been quantified in the reporting, and no confirmed municipal response or completed remediation is documented.
