The aim of these actions is to complement the annual pest control program and prevent the proliferation of insects and rodents, particularly cockroaches.
Municipal workers from the Environment Department are applying specific lacquering and fumigation treatments directly into the sewers to combat the presence of various insect species.
These efforts supplement previous interventions by a specialized company and are carried out in phases throughout the year, adapting treatments to periods of peak pest activity.
“"The objective is to maintain public spaces that are 'clean, cared for, and safe,' with a special emphasis on prevention as a tool to avoid pest proliferation."
The Environment Department highlights that regular sewer interventions are crucial for reinforcing surveillance and acting proactively to prevent public health issues in Palos, La Rábida, and Mazagón.
The pest and rodent control campaign operates year-round, ensuring treatments are conducted with environmental protection criteria and are systematically planned.
