Las warm temperatures that have been registered in Venado Tuerto and the entire south of Santa Fe, added to the high humidity, became the ideal environment for the reproduction of flies and mosquitoes. This caused a noticeable growth in the population of these insects that coexist, above all, in our homes.
Although from the Environment Department of the Municipality of Venado Tuerto They are advancing with fumigations, both aerial and terrestrial, flies as well as mosquitoes take shelter in homes, becoming a great nuisance, in addition to the risk of spreading some diseases (such as the case of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, transmitter of dengue).
With regard to flies, there are different products to eliminate them. In principle, insecticides are very effective, in addition to other methods to scare them away or trap them that are usually used in homes, even some of them homemade.
In this sense, the Director of the Environment, Dardo Catramado He explained that the products used for spraying also work for flies. However, “it is an insect that inhabits different areas, within homes, and, for us, more complex to reach with applications on public roads,” he exclaimed.
Mosquitos
As for the mosquito, Catramado specified that they come with a active work that has been sustained since the beginning of summer and the arrival of the hot season, although the climatic conditions that persisted since last year, with the lack of rain, helped to prevent the proliferation from being so important. “Now, with the rainfall that we had, the ideal environment for breeding. For this reason, last week we made the first flight to control the plague, covering the lowlands and wetlands of the city; in addition to all applications in the territory, with a very wide coverage radius that included a large part of the peri-urban area, both in the morning and in the evenings ”, he pointed out.
The official remarked that the terrestrial applications are made dailyis a routine task, incorporating public spaces, especially those that carry out activities during the weekend.
In turn, in conjunction with the Health area, progress is being made in fumigation in areas where a suspected case of dengue is registered, covering several adjacent blocks.
“The problem is that There are mosquitoes in the patios of the housessomething that we cannot cover with routines, but the neighbors themselves must be in charge of collaborating with its eradication, with the application of insecticides and debris, that is, removing all kinds of containers that can accumulate water for the reproduction of the larvae,” he emphasized.
rodents
The head of the environmental portfolio said that during the summer they had many interventions related to the presence of rodents. “As the field suffered from the drought, this prevented the rodents from having food, which led to These animals will take refuge in houses close to the lots or fields. In the cases that we found out about, we intervene ”, she declared.
