The City Council is still committed to keeping the trees in the parks of Murcia in the best condition.

To do this this week has begun to place in more than 1,000 specimens boxes with insects that are predators of other insects harmful to trees.

"These are small cardboard boxes in which we store larvae, ready to hatch or hatched, which are responsible for eliminating other insects that are harmful to the specimens." It is a totally environmentally friendly technique that is carried out in this time for the suitability of the temperatures ", explains the mayor of Modernization of the Administration and Urban Development, José Guillén.

This strategy seeks to fulfill the so-called 'biological control of populations' and preserve more than a thousand specimens that meet the ideal conditions for their treatment, among which are robinias, jacarandas and tipuanas.

What is sought is to persevere in the fundamental idea that this control wants to balance tolerable levels of population with each other, but in less harmful amounts for the citizen.

For this reason, a pedagogical posters of the release will be placed as informative.

Also, with this action, which will be carried out with Crisopa (Chrisoperla carnea) and Aphidios (Aphidius colemani), is also intended to "improve the quality of life of citizens and avoid possible resistance to some products offered by pests", emphasizes Guillen.

This system emphasizes the importance of acting in advance to control possible pests (frequently occurring in jacarandas, robinias and tipuanas), actions that are intensively and exhaustively controlled from the park's services and gardens of the Consistory.

Among the streets where you will act are several of the city and districts such as the Garden of the Dry in Torreagüera, the Floridablanca Avenue or the Salitre Garden.
