Tiger mosquitoes are more and more invasive in France, including in cities. Two cases of dengue fever have been identified in recent days. To deal with this, mosquito control operations are underway.
In the middle of the night, masks on their faces, agents from the city of Poitiers (Vienne) try to kill the slightest tiger mosquito. We must act quickly within a radius of 150 meters around the home of a resident who has returned from Southeast Asia. He was infected with a dengue-like illness. His neighbors can now breathe. “I have skin that attracts mosquitoes. I am very much in favor of their eradication”says a local resident.
The most present in the gardens
The same operation was carried out in Paris last night. The insect proliferates in almost the whole country. A student, resident of Bourg-la-Reine (Hauts-de-Seine), goes out less and less in his garden. “We hurry a bit, because we get bitten a lot”, he says. It is in gardens that the tiger mosquito is most present. To avoid any sting, you might as well be dressed from head to toe. Rising temperatures accelerate egg development.
