The Councilor for Environment, Noelia Grao, has indicated that many areas previously dry have regained favorable conditions for mosquito reproduction. To address this situation, the control service has reinforced its actions, increasing treatment frequency and expanding intervention zones.
Work focuses on both the larval stage, through inspection and treatment of breeding sites, and adult mosquito control. A considerable decrease has been registered after the application of adulticide treatments. Actions are mainly carried out in sensitive areas such as stretches of the river with stagnant water, ditches, drains, and other points where water accumulates.
Grao explained that the inconveniences this situation may cause residents are understood, which is why actions have been reinforced to reduce their effects as quickly as possible. These municipal actions will continue in the coming days, with increased efforts in public spaces where mosquito concentration peaks typically occur.
Furthermore, the Department emphasizes the presence of tiger mosquitoes and reminds the public of the importance of avoiding water accumulation in homes and private spaces, such as plant saucers, buckets, or disused swimming pools, as these can become breeding grounds.
The City Council also makes its usual communication channels available to citizens for reporting incidents related to mosquito proliferation, aiming for faster and more effective action at detected points.
