The mosquito tigre has already reached the Girona region. Escala and Roses (Alt Empordà
were the first two towns in the province where the Servei Control Mosquits of Roses Badia i Baix Ter has located and identified larvae of this insect invader, known by the community scientific Aedes albopictus.
In order to detect the presence of mosquitoes tigre, the service has installed more than 250 traps along the coastline gerundense.
He appeared on August 22 when some mosquito eggs in one of the traps, located near the campsite Illa Mateu of Cala Montgó - L 'scale -. After hatching, technicians found that the larvae belonged to the annoying insect.
Since then, activated the emergency protocol to control the outbreak and prevent the proliferation kind.
The protocol is to analyse the larvae, establish a perimeter control and begin spraying to eliminate their populations. In the case of Escala, the perimeter covered the entire neighborhood Montgó and its periphery. Technicians also sprayed with insecticide private gardens to eliminate potential mosquito colonies adult and larval traps also installed to control the outbreak.
"We neutralized by the outbreak," said Eduard Marquis, director of the service.

Specifically, one of the traps located in Santa Margarida, in Roses, service technicians found 26 eggs of the insect, which experts consider placing "small" but that, according to Marquis, "must be controlled."

Such measures are based primarily to prevent the pond water, habitat for the larvae. Containers, pipes and holes in the ground are corners where the water is ponding and may end up hosting a colony of unwanted mosquitoes tigre.
Experts recommend empty containers at least once a week, so as to interrupt the time needed to reach adult mosquitoes from making, and also renew ponds and pools, including removable.
