The City Council continues the campaign to control different mosquito species that reproduce in our municipality.
Therefore, this Friday, July 24, starting at 5:00 p.m.
(early morning from Thursday to Friday) the technical personnel of the concessionary company of this service will carry out a treatment in the green areas of Alhama by spraying the vegetation and the immediate free spaces.The established safety period extends exclusively to the duration of this treatment.
Neighbors should exercise caution and not walk through these spaces while work is carried out, to avoid coming into contact with the products used.The action is part of the mosquito control program that the Alhama City Council develops annually.
This year it started on April 3 and is planning to extend it until December 9.
On Tuesday, April 21, an intense treatment was already carried out in one of the critical areas of the municipality, such as the industrial park.
With the inoculation of ecological larvicidal products in the ponds in the area, we anticipate the high rate of reproduction that mosquitoes usually develop there.
On May 8, a general fumigation of green spaces in the town was also carried out, similar to that of next Friday.Likewise, since April 8 the City Council has been regularly treating the 61 scuppers or rainwater grids that are in the streets of the town in a preventive way, since what is intended is to avoid the reproduction of mosquitoes.However, a large part of the small accumulations of water that we have in the urban area are in private properties, both in houses and in lots and other similar spaces.
Therefore, it is important that the neighbors collaborate and eliminate the water points in pots, gutters, buckets, drums, wheels, abandoned toys, ornamental fountains, etc.
Without this responsibility, the treatments applied by the City Council have very limited efficacy.
