The work, which will start this Thursday and continue on Friday, will be carried out in marked areas to indicate the action zones. The Town Hall asks residents to follow the signage instructions.
This autumn's action aims to curb the proliferation of caterpillars before they form their characteristic nests in the pine canopies during winter. The campaign will be complemented by endotherapy treatments, applied directly to the trunk, and by physical traps to intercept the caterpillars as they descend from the trees.
Likewise, the Town Hall recommends that individuals with pine trees in private gardens or properties within the urban area commission the most suitable preventive treatment from a specialized company. It is reminded that the urticating hairs of the caterpillars can cause irritation and allergic reactions in people and affect pets, especially dogs.
