As the federal government shutdown entered its second week, the effect in the area was largely in lost tourism business from the closed Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks.

However, the shutdown could soon hurt efforts to control the Asian citrus psyllid pest that poses a major threat to the areas citrus industry.

The shutdown was ongoing as of Monday, Oct. 7, at the time of The Posts deadline this week.

Pest control programs are funded jointly by the citrus industry, the state government and the federal government. The federal money is unavailable during the shutdown, but industry is kicking in extra funds, said Fresno County Agricultural Commissioner Les Wright.

For the short term, there is money to keep the programs going, he said. But if this thing goes too long were going to have some issues.

Without the pest control programs, ag officials cant detect the psyllid and treat orchards where its discovered, giving the pest a chance to get established, Wright said.

According to a recent survey, homes in the North have been subjected to a higher rate of infestations than the rest of the UK

Rats, mice, bedbugs, wasps and cockroaches . . . no one wants pests in their home.

But according to a recent survey, homes in the North have been subjected to a higher rate of infestations than the rest of the UK.

South Tyneside, Sunderland, Newcastle and Middlebrough councils all made the top 10 for pest control call-outs in 2012, the British Pest Control Association (BPCA) said.

Experts are stumped as to the root of the North pest problem, but said it could be down to the likes of population density and lively city-centre nightlife as well as availability of free pest control services.

Mum-of-two Michelle Kelly was forced out of her home after seeing a rat race across her bedroom.

It was absolutely horrible, said the 27-year-old, of North Shields in North Tyneside, who lives with sons Thomas, nine, and two-year-old AJ.

I could not sleep in my house so moved to my mums. I thought the noises I heard was the dog upstairs but when I went up I saw a rat run across the room.

It is just not nice to have that in your home.
