In the fight against the aggressive Asian tiger mosquito, the traps set up are now being examined. The traps will be checked over the next three days, a city spokeswoman said on request. The samples will then be analyzed at the State Institute for Health and Veterinary Investigation (LUA).
The focus of the measures is on the Äußere Neustadt district, where the mosquito has recently been appearing repeatedly. The traps were set up in mid-August by a company from Nuremberg, which is said to have extensive expertise in the field of pest control. The aim is to record the extent of the population and "hotspots". In addition, the public is called upon to document the discovery of tiger mosquitoes by photo and report them to the LUA.
