Bats Wreak Havoc in Maridi
Farmers in Maridi County are calling for urgent intervention following the invasion of their farms by bats. 15 July 2012 By Joseph Nashion YAMBIO, 15 July 2012 [Gurtong] - Maridi County Commissioner Adel Sendiri has told Gurtong that the bats have been in the area for more than 30 years and have destroyed fruits as well as polluting the environment through noise and leaving marks on roofs in the area. Farmers in the county, who mostly depend on mangoes, paw paws and guavas told Gurtong that the attack by bats has discouraged them from the practices as the fruits get destroyed within days. Sendiri called upon the citizens to be patient with the mammals as he communicates to the government and the development actors to ascertain the best solutions to the bats menace. Meanwhile, the residents have resorted to smoking the trees where bats reside as they wait for government action on the matter.
