The councilor of the Municipal Socialist Group in the city of Murcia, Maite Espinosa, has called on the City of Murcia to launch measures to prevent the emergence and proliferation of the tiger mosquito, in view of the plague of mosquitoes plaguing the municipality.
"We are a large number of complaints by the huge plague of mosquitoes that exist in the municipality we have come. We have visited neighborhoods and districts in which notified us that there were many mosquitoes and it is really impossible to go outside when evening falls. We are talking about a nuisance beyond, as there are allergic people who have to take medication immediately after being chopped and because of the number of mosquitoes, no talk of a sting but dozens of them. We have seen even from Children with skin covered with bites those who have had to take emergency, "said the socialist mayor.
"The City of Murcia says he fumigated, but the reality is that this pest shows that have not made the necessary efforts -HA Espinosa indicated. If Ballesta not know what to do in these cases can ask and learn in other municipalities and communities where mayors were warned in July of the need to take precautionary measures to prevent the occurrence of the tiger mosquito. We fear that, if it has not been able to prevent the proliferation of common mosquito, neither has fought the tiger mosquito, with the risk involved. "
The PSOE Councillor has urged the city of Murcia to implement a protocol in which work together cleaning company and the department of infrastructure to carry out maintenance tasks fumigation and scuppers.
"It is also essential to inform and train workers cleaning on the need to avoid puddles after watering parks and gardens. All this should be coupled with an information campaign and public awareness," Espinosa concluded.
