The Environment area of the Santa Cruz de Tenerife City Council, through the work of the company Servicios Antiplagas de Canarias (Seranca) and with the support of the Local Police, has carried out this Tuesday an intensive action for the eradication of a rodent plague that has been detected in the Rambla Pulido area.
The delegate councilor, Florentino Guzmán, has indicated that in this period of confinement there has been a decrease in garbage or out of place food, which were the usual sustenance of these rodents, “what has produced that many of them go out to look for food in unusual places”.
In addition, the mayor pointed out that “Although the activity of a person who persistently and illegally insists on feeding the pigeons continues to be pursued and denounced, we have also verified that the remains of that food are attracting rats to this point of the city.”

With this background, the Santa Cruz City Council has decided to carry out this special action on Rambla Pulido. Also, due to its intensity, It will be carried out with the company’s workers supported by the Local Police to carry out traffic cuts and surveillance.
It is also expected to continue with police monitoring for the detection of the action of a woman than, despite having numerous disciplinary proceedings in recent years, he continues to leave food for the pigeon population in the center of the city.
As always when it is located, a complaint will be made, adding in this case to the infraction in terms of public health and the environment, the proposed sanction for disobeying the conditions of the current confinement decreed by the State of Alarm.
