WATCH: Malta’s Cockroach King And The Largest Insect Collection On The Island

Article Featured Image

When it comes to little creatures crawling and wriggling around your house in the middle of the night, one man in Malta just can’t get enough of them.

Arnold Sciberras is a self-made pest controller and rodent farmer, but his passion for insects and his uncanny ability to find infestations in all types of homes around Malta has helped him develop quite the reputation… and that’s before we even begin to describe his massive cockroach collection, the biggest on the island.

And did we forget to mention he named a gecko mite after his beloved wife? Just go ahead and Google Geckobia estherae…

Lovin Malta’s Julian Bonnici met up with the Exterminator as he is known to find out more about why he loves the things people hate, how he’s been able to raise his kids with the same passion for bugs and how everyone might misunderstand just how useful these critters can be to any Maltese household.
