The nightmare of every summer has returned to Denia: the tiger mosquito, a much more aggressive than the common mosquito species has proliferated in recent weeks in the city. Therefore, from the city of Dénia seek the cooperation of citizens to avoid increasing the specimens in our area.
Unlike the common mosquito, which needs extensive sheets of water and so young, mostly in public areas, the tiger mosquito needs very little water to lay their eggs, so its reproduction occurs mainly on private property.
Among the tips are launched to prevent breeding nearby you are to avoid ponding of water in the gardens of their homes, in containers such as buckets, pots or ashtrays and ornamental fountains or lakes that are in their homes. It is also recommended to cover with mosquito netting ponds, wells, cisterns or water container can not be emptied.
This campaign is supported by information leaflets with data on the species and its life cycle, their differences with other species that can be annoying but are harmless and information on the habitat in which it plays. Also in the brochure you can learn to make a tiger mosquito trap at home, using a plastic bottle, fresh yeast, water and sugar.
According to reports from the City currently it has not detected any focus on public spaces. Dénia, tasks ism instructions for making a simple tiger mosquito trap at home, using a plastic bottle, fresh yeast, water and sugar.
Moreover, the company Lokímica, responsible for vector control of the municipality, carries among its tasks the control of breeding sites each month tiger mosquito. This control is performed during every month of the year on the larval forms, to ensure immediate decrease in reproduction of the species, as it is removed before it reaches adulthood.
This is done in collaboration with the Directorate General of Public Health, with the aim of limiting the maximum current settlement area of the mosquito, delimit its life cycle and estimate their abundance.
“Unlike the common mosquito, which needs large sheets of water and therefore breeds mostly in public areas, the tiger mosquito needs very little water to lay its eggs, so its reproduction occurs mostly on private properties. »
Nice try! As if the bugs in question could differentiate between the public and the private. Who knows how to differentiate it is who has written the article or who has advised how to write the article to divert the responsibility on each pot of each house. How many lots abandoned by the administration are there lost? How many areas that look abandoned own Of the third world filled with thickets, forgotten plants and accumulated garbage? And then you come promoting the Gamba of Denia with the roll of the exterior image.
Citizen Dianense
I am in the area of the Routes and have observed that every day there is more. My grandchildren will be coming in August so the poor kids are going to have a terrible time.
We can not be away from home and with mosquito nets thrown as soon as we leave, especially at mid-afternoon, tiger mosquitoes overwhelm us despite having everything on the market to combat it.
I lived in an urbanization in Madrid and every year from helicopter disinfected the area with incredible results. Please, not only for those who live here but for the tourism that brings so much money to Denia, put the batteries that as the heat advances they multiply and we can not fight them alone.
I want to answer: Citizen Dianense 28 2015 May, 11: 00
Well, you give us a brilliant lesson in zoology, the environment and I suppose goodwill, but you forget one thing, of course there have been mosquitoes all our lives, but we mean the "tiger", this is new, it bites during the day and by At night, and above the clothes, they are smaller, and do not warn like ours the famous "trumpeters" who announce themselves before biting.
You also say that the dangers of infection are zero. Can you guarantee it ??? Because until now no scientist risks guaranteeing it.
I do not know if you have questions or references in hospital emergency care, outpatient or positions of the Red Cross, but I can assure you that many.
It is a very serious problem, more than it seems, you seem to justify it by saying that your whole life ...
There have also been all life jellyfish in the sea, but when one appears, it is mobilized, Civil Protection, Maritime Rescue, Local Police, Red Cross, etc. etc. and it only bites some bathers, but this p .. mosquito bites everyone, children, adults, the elderly, bathers or not bathers and wherever you are, night or day. And it is very annoying to be eating in one of the many and very good restaurants in Denia, and end up being riddled with this mosquito or walking….
Eye much at stake.
This is my opinion, without any acrimony, but raring to minimize this problem.
There get going, now. Temperatures are increasingly prone to recurrence. These traps they say, are useless. I think they should contact, from the corresponding Department, especially with Property Administrators, they have a good knowledge of the properties they manage, through them could distribute the appropriate insecticide. It affects us all, we must all work together to minimize this plague.
I hope that the ambiemte means of Denia do something with tiger mosquitoes as individually do not think it solves anything, it is nonsense to say that, that hard wear out and are no longer tonterias than good eating us taxes.
As to monitor public space burned Park Tower is full of tiger mosquitoes. We had q go there or ate us
They talk about mosquito traps. Someone can detail your clothing ????? Thank you.
Well said, Paloma!
Easier to hold citizens accountable. We'll see how the »New» will take it in the Town Hall….
From the City Council of Dénia they request citizen collaboration to avoid the increase of copies in our area? We will agree, but why not lead by example and do something with the existing "canals" or regatxos, for example in Assagador de la Marjal street, which are permanently maintained with dirty and stagnant waters and with all kinds of trash inside? Isn't it precisely the City Council that should take care of it?
I would appreciate a suggestion for those of us who live next to the Regatxo (from the Poli to the mouth). That is indeed a true "nest" of mosquitoes.
Thank you.
Report on the Environment (under the castle, the manager is José Antonio Martínez) and the regional Health Center (in Jaume I Square, near courts).
The main problem comes from the municipal swimming pool Aqualia has been pouring water all year of a fault unrepaired since it opened. Les has been cheaper to throw the water they do not pay the regatxo II to repair the pool. Look carefully under the bridge of regatxo II next to the pool. From there to the sea was an orchard because of that leak.
It is assumed that they are already arranging, but check it periodically and if not, report it.
Another source of water regatxo II are periodic discharges making water pumps Confederation Júcar (on the bridge next to the tennis club, Assagador Street fen)
Mosquitoes have been present in Dénia in far greater quantities than today. Not to forget the whole area of Les Marines was kind of Marjal, which was desiccating first to plant and then to tourist homes.
Until a few years ago even 35 was pulling insecticides aircraft annually. Today the number of mosquitoes is only a problem in a few areas due to the lack of forceful action by the administration, if he cares and acts, but not conclusively and consistently. And that is the main threat, the lack of severity by the administration (municipality, autonomous community, government). So far the administration does not act consistently and systematically, but only in a timely manner when a group of neighbors complain. Same with the American cockroach.
Moreover, there are mosquitos all along the coast except in desert areas. Even in Madrid there, and perhaps more than before due to changing temperatures. In France, on the Mediterranean coast and there were many, but now there is also the Atlantic in summer. Netherlands (due to the channels) in summer or have mosquito screens or close the windows or do not sleep. In Germany in summer on the banks of the Rhine alike. In Italy and Greece long story. Therefore the trouble was and is global. And they have more due to changing temperatures.
That if, novelty in Europe is the new type of mosquito: the tiger. This, at the beginning and not used to their bites some people produce inflammation until the body gets used and is nothing more than another mosquito bite. So that's not the main problem, otherwise it could be transmitter of disease (although in Europe the risk at the moment is very, very small not to say no, because aa general hygiene of public spaces and private) and to reproduce with very little water (eg water from a pot). Because of this and the temperature change will be more mosquitoes in summer in the water areas of northern Spain in the Mediterrraneo. And we absolutely mosquitoes in Spain, but there are already.
By the way, even in Sweden and Canada are in summer. So it is only the Antarctic, which is north pole, the Sahara and little mosquito free zone. Because we know where they have to go live.
In the area of the Rotas, near the bar Farallo, this year we have already suffered mosquito bites this. The bites are very annoying and itchiness lasts several days, some scarring.
Animals also suffer.
Last year I killed my dog Lesmaniosis because these mosquitoes bite.
Pray take the necessary measures to eradicate, but organically. Thank you
It is a real problem for this beautiful town I spent three months and I had to change destinations this year, last summer visit emergency on several occasions, is unbearable this situation I think the damage to the tourism sector can be considerable if they fail eradicate this annoying and dangerous problem.
On the other hand I am pleased saves are being undertaken for solving actions.
Behind my bungalow houses there 6 6 work with abandoned pools with dirty water and very green!
Does the owner have gone to Russia, and we killed by mosquitoes! Who is responsible for that?
Any suggestions welcome.
Thank you.
Report on the council in the Environment (under the castle). The manager: José Antonio Martínez is very correct and comprehensive. Who they are sent to the treatments in public areas and if necessary will denounce the irresponsible neighbor.
Also, complementary and very effectively, there is a regional public health control at the Jaume I square (about courts) center. This center is responsible for monitoring the waters in general, legionella etc., in addition to possible problems public health problems such that cockroaches, rats, mosquitoes etc. And yours can be. But only if they will heed complaint right there (also helps bring back the prior complaint at City Hall Environment). The more neighbors will denounce him more attention. The more consistent you are in your complaints more so will they.
Greetings.
