I'm confused about the problem with cockroaches (we call them "jukim"
here in Israel - isn't that cute?) in rental breastpumps.
I am a rental station for M. breastpumps. I don't see how the bugs
could get into the pump base which is basically the motor. My pumps are
also cleaned after each use with alcohol and put into the hard plastic
carrying case. Due to health laws, each woman must purchase her own
pumping set. Are these pumping sets being passed from woman to woman?!
It is also a good idea to get offices and garbage rooms fumigated.
Since we live in a hot climate, we fumigate our homes once a year as
well. Don't forget that these disgusting creatures can crawl up from
sewer pipes.
