Nicosia Municipality deploys drones to combat mosquito breeding sites
Nicosia Municipality has introduced drones to target mosquito breeding sites, enhancing its ongoing spraying and inspection efforts. Mayor Charalambos Prountzos stated that drone use will soon expand to the 'Kateva' canal in Pallouriotissa and other identified locations. This initiative complements daily spraying that continues across various neighborhoods, including Egkomi, where interventions cover key areas such as Klimos, near Lakatamia border, Agios Dometios, and the State Fair.
Municipal teams also conduct thorough inspections of potential breeding grounds like abandoned pools, lift pits, and open canals to prevent mosquito proliferation. Approximately 60% of resident complaints have resulted in the discovery of breeding sites, prompting authorities to urge locals to regularly check and eliminate standing water around their properties. This combined approach aims to reduce mosquito populations and related health risks efficiently.
