ISLA MUJERES, 9 de octubre.-
A three day fumigation or fogging campaign was completed to decrease the presence of mosquitoes which can cause Dengue or Chikungunya. This campaign began on Wednesday in response to citizen complaints about the presence of more mosquitoes all around the island. The campaign was completed after they had fumigated all the sectors and neighborhoods.
On Wednesday, they sprayed the colonias of La Gloria, Ampliación La Gloria, Meteorológico, Salina Chica, Salina Grande and the area along Prolongación Aeropuerto. Thursday they fought mosquitoes at the colonias of Electricistas, Caribeña, Lol-Beh, Miraflores, Cañotal, in the residential zone of Sac Bajo and in the area of Garrafón. Next, they fogged the public and private schools, as well as the downtown area, and they will continue to cover the entire island for the next month.
There are four people involved in this work, with two nebulizers and two trucks. The Vectors Department asks cooperation from housewives and residents in general to give access to these personnel, and to avoid having accumulations of water where mosquitoes can breed.
