Experts from the Almería-based pest control company Hisasur have warned about this situation, indicating that the combination of humidity and heat creates the perfect environment for increased insect activity. The problem is not limited to natural areas like ravines or wetlands; any spot with stagnant water, even in urban settings, can become a breeding ground.
“"The combination of accumulated humidity and high temperatures creates the perfect breeding ground for mosquito proliferation."
The presence of species such as the common mosquito and the tiger mosquito, known for their potential as disease vectors, demands rigorous vigilance. Localities like Roquetas de Mar, Aguadulce, El Alquián, Costacabana, and the areas around Cabo de Gata are traditionally sensitive, although this year the situation could extend more intensely to urban centers.
“"Many times we think it's just a nuisance, but there are species that can act as disease vectors, so control must be rigorous."
While citizen awareness is crucial for prevention, through actions such as emptying containers or installing mosquito nets, Hisasur specialists emphasize the importance of professional intervention in high-proliferation scenarios. The company applies protocols that include inspection, identification of breeding sites, and specific treatments for each environment, from urban areas to sewage systems.
“"Acting in time is fundamental. When the plague is advanced, control is more complex and requires more intensive interventions."
From Hisasur, it is stressed that anticipation is the best strategy to avoid major problems. Early prevention is key, as waiting for the massive appearance of mosquitoes significantly complicates their control.
