The traps allow the control and measurement of the weevil to take care of the green areas of the municipality.

In this way, Parks and Gardens continues to innovate and move forward in the elimination and detention of this insect with the new 'flight capture' system.

Likewise, information is also collected on when the most delicate dates of the year are due to the distribution of the pest, which allows the deployment of more measures to tackle it.

This system is complementary to the different treatments that are used in the more than 15,000 palm trees that exist in the municipality of Murcia and are carried out in carefully thought places to remove the palm weevil and that do not generate any incidence to people or animals. .
