An operation which intervenes “after the declaration of a case of chikungunya to a resident of Hérault, having stayed in the commune,” said the prefecture of Ariège
A demoustication operation will take place on the night of Monday, July 28 to Tuesday, July 29, 2025, between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m., at the Bastide de Sérou (Ariège) – after the declaration of a case of Chikungunya with a resident of Hérault, who stayed in the town.
The mosquito-tiger, a vector of diseases such as chikungunya or dengue, is at the center of this intervention carried out as part of the national anti-disgusting plan.
“Following a declaration of a case of Chikungunya of a Hérault resident who had stayed at the Bastide de Sérou, a Tigers mosquito trap operation was initiated this Thursday, July 24. It will be supplemented by a preventive and targeted demoustication intervention, scheduled on the night of Monday, July 28 to Tuesday, July 29, 2025 between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. “Indicates the prefecture of Ariège.
Indeed, traps have already been arranged on July 24 to assess the presence of the mosquito, before the passage of a specialized team which will intervene within a radius of 150 meters around the identified place.
Residents of the area concerned were notified by a Flyer distributed this Friday, July 25. It is recommended, during spraying, to keep the doors and windows closed, to enter the animals, to cover the pools and sandboxes, and to rinse the garden furniture as well as the vegetables and fruits of the vegetable patch after the operation.
“The treatment will be carried out by a specialized company, from a pick-up type vehicle and can be completed by a pedestrian passage, in a circle of 150 meters of radius around the place of detection of the case. »»
The products used, similar to trade insecticides, meet the usual safety standards. The authorities also recall not to touch the installed traps, in order to guarantee their effectiveness.
