The town hall is launching an awareness campaign regarding the right actions to limit the spread of the tiger mosquito. This campaign will be more targeted at Costes-Rouges, San Pau and Parc du Levant, due to requests from residents since the good weather arrived.
Recognize it once more: silent and diurnal, it bites more during the day, it is striped black and white and measures less than 0.5 cm.
The environment: it adapts and takes advantage of the abundance of empty containers in which it lays its eggs. it is a vector of viruses. Deprived of access to water, the tiger mosquito does not reproduce.
Protect yourself: wear long, loose, light-colored clothing and use skin repellents and mosquito nets.
Use fauna and flora as allies: you can install nesting boxes for swallows or bats, they love these insects and do not harm our living environment. You can also set traps (the vacuum trap or the nest trap).
Finally, how do I know if I’ve been bitten? An itchy sensation that increases following a few minutes: the pimple is generally hard, hot and painful, lighter than the skin, with a red halo around it.
The city is also getting involved, and the green and nature department will soon install traps in public spaces.
