According to the report, due to the wetter weather, the mosquito threat is stronger this year than last year, the biological control against the larvae started at the beginning of April, and since the beginning of May, the treatments to reduce the adult biting mosquitoes have also been continuous. For the latter purpose, the so-called ULV process is used in most regions, during which the equipment mounted on the vehicle breaks the preparation into small droplets. The substance is applied in a very low dose in the evening and at night, so bees and other pollinating insects are not affected by the intervention.
This year, it was necessary to intervene in more than a thousand settlements because of the insects, in some areas the specialists work on a recurring basis, every two weeks, they reminded.
They warned: in the high heat, the development of the mosquito larvae accelerates, adults can appear in as little as a week. All mosquitoes lead a lifestyle tied to water, for many species, water surfaces accumulated in the living environment provide a habitat, so by eliminating and covering them, everyone can do something against the reproduction of mosquitoes, they emphasized.
