The Huercal-Overa City Council started a treatment campaign for mosquito larvae and fleas.
The work has begun and will continue through the next months to summer. It will include public roads, schools, lots, wetlands, lakes, and water collection scuppers.
Andres Sanchez, the Councilor for Services explained that the campaign was launched to prevent possible pests such as mosquitoes or other insects in areas of the municipality where they proliferate. The Consistory is aware of the importance to care for our neighbors’ health and the environment. Therefore, we use products that are safe for animals and people. He said that the work is done during times when these places are quiet.
To prevent the appearance of rodents, cockroaches, and processionary insects, the annual fumigation is supplemented with this broad-spectrum insecticide treatment. “We work with planning to minimize the spread of pests that could cause problems for our neighbours,” said Mr. To avoid any pest, fumigations are performed periodically in parks, green areas, and public roads.
