Municipal services have carried out preventive health campaigns to dislodge birds and insects harmful to residents.
Walking along the Allée du Nouveau Monde in recent months, everyone could see the state of the sidewalks or cars degraded by starling excrement. This is no longer the case today.
Indeed, for reasons of public health, the City services carried out a campaign to scare away the population of these birds which had taken up residence on this alley during the month of September.
Rockets used to scare away birds
The method is simple: in order to disturb the birds and scare them away, the municipality fired detonating, whistling and crackling rockets. The agents also broadcast predatory cries, so that the birds would abandon their roost and reach natural areas outside the city.
Insecticide spraying
Furthermore, on the other side, namely boulevard d’Antigone, a mosquito control operation took place last week.
At the request of the Occitanie Regional Health Agency, targeted treatment against the tiger mosquito was carried out around a place frequented by a person suffering from dengue, chikungunya or Zika.
This exceptional preventive treatment aimed to avoid a chain of local transmission of these diseases. The intervention consisted of spraying insecticide using a vehicle from the public highway.
