Cockroach and mosquito pests to be acted upon |
- This year, for the first time, remote control actions will be carried out and drones will be used to reach the special risk areas and difficult access, such as ramblas and Saladar.
Cockroach action is done on a quarterly basis and intensified in May, just before the predicted increase in the number of these insects in early summer.
Special actions will be carried out in the schools, the municipal sports center and in the residential areas with the highest number of reported incidents.
As for mosquitoes, apart from the regular performances in the urban nucleus, drillings will be carried out this year by drones in areas of special incidence and difficult access with traditional fears, such as Saladar and ramblas.
The aim is to make the treatments more efficient and with the lowest possible risk for the fauna of the area.
This innovative practice has the authorization of the sanitary and environmental technicians of the Autonomous Community.
Similarly, according to the regional and national recommendations for the control of the tiger mosquito (Zika virus transmitter), the presence of this virus continues to be monitored through biological traps, so that it can act quickly and effectively If any danger to the population is detected.
From the Department of Health remember that "it is vitally important not to leave containers with standing water for several days in patios and windows, as the accumulations of water serve as breeding grounds for this and other mosquitoes."
This year, in addition, talks have been held with the municipal officials of Alguazas and Ceutí to carry out actions against mosquitoes and whiteflies in the surroundings of the Segura River, so that among the different municipalities, a comprehensive and coordinated action is taken to try to reduce To the maximum the usual plague of mosquitoes in summer.
"While it is true that all the local councils are aware and concerned about this issue, the treatments we make are patches that last a short time, cost a lot of money and remain in the water if we do not act in a serious and effective way before In addition to our technical and economic efforts, we urgently need the Segura Hydrographic Confederation to take up the issue and to develop a comprehensive plan to tackle the problem of reeds and the recovery of the lagoon Of riverside, thus avoiding also problems with the floods of the river ", points out Jesus Abenza, Councilor of Health.
Recommendations: When cockroaches are used, a 'fledged' effect occurs and they try to escape from the pipes through drains, drains and sewers, and it is normal to see them in streets and patios.
For this reason, it is recommended to cover the boxes of the houses and the sinks of the courtyards to avoid the entry of cockroaches to the houses in the days following the fumigations.
