A Croatian municipality fights against mosquitoes
The problem with mosquitoes often affects not only this place, but many others. Croatian cities located on rivers, such as Osijek, have it the worst. This is where the real invasions occur. Insects disturb both residents and tourists. They cannot relax by the water because they are immediately bitten. Although a single bite does not cause serious health effects, sometimes more extensive allergic reactions occur. The site of the sting itches strongly, is swollen, warm, and then a blister appears.
In conversations with foreign media, residents emphasized that it was especially bad after rain. It turns out that they cannot leave their homes because the presence of insects is unbearable.
They have a solution for mosquitoes in Croatia. It works
The plague of mosquitoes in the Croatian commune of Kneževi Vinogradi is so troublesome that the authorities quickly had to find an effective way to combat them. Finally, something was used that works 100 percent against insects. The local portal klix.ba shared this information at the beginning of the week.
“This year, after consulting experts, we decided on several innovative solutions and included drones for the first time. The first results show that we are on the right track,” said Vedran Kramarić, mayor of the Kneževi Vinogradi commune. It turns out that since drones spray mosquito repellents, positive results are visible. Starting such an action cost the commune PLN 2,000. euro, but thanks to it it turns out that there is a chance for improvement. Croatia will allocate a record EUR 1.9 million for further campaigns of this type. Spraying will also be necessary in Osijek and surrounding cities.
In addition to the technique of spraying insecticides with drones, it is also planned to open a special Mosquito Control Center on site.
