The data provided by the Regional Commission for the Surveillance and Control of the Mosquito Tiger place Beniel below the regional average in the appearance of this insect
Before the arrival of high temperatures Beniel City Council began weeks ago the fumigation in parks and public spaces against all types of pests.
This campaign continues today to make it extend to all parts of the municipality and districts.
With this treatment, the appearance of insect and / or mosquito spots is prevented in all those areas that are most sensitive to being able to accumulate them.
The Consistory also belongs to the Regional Commission for the Surveillance and Control of the Mosquito Tiger, which is the competent body when it comes to monitoring this plague.
The municipal services, always taking into account the indications of this institution, plan a fortnightly control against this insect.
In addition, direct contact is maintained with the municipal health officials, who have reported that the consultations received by stings are the usual ones during the summer months.
From the City we want to emphasize that the most important measures to avoid the Mosquito Tiger are mainly prevention.
This parasite needs dark and humid areas to be able to breed, which is why all these points have been eliminated from the Consistory.
Special emphasis has been placed on sources and elements that accumulate water, since this is where mosquitoes mainly nest.
This invasive species is a problem for the entire Region of Murcia, since it has settled in the total practice of municipalities, being most notable in those where the average temperature is higher.
Health experts at the regional level have already reported that the total eradication of this insect is expected to be very complicated due to its great capacity to adapt to the environment, although a thorough control of this pest continues to be carried out.
The data provided by the Regional Commission for Surveillance and Control of Mosquito Tigre place the municipality of Beniel below the regional average in the appearance of this pest and with a very low rate compared to the towns belonging and / or close to the Eastern Region.
To continue restricting the appearance and reproduction of this insect, the collaboration of all is essential, since this insect breeds in small clusters of water originated mainly by human action.
