According to Ventsislav Boychev, employee of a pest control company, the demand for such services in Sofia increased several times. People were complaining from infestations of rats, cockroaches, wasps, ants, fleas and bedbugs. 

People living in the recently flooded areas are complaining from rat infestations, as the rodents were abandoning the flooded basements.
