Hungary fights mosquito invasion – extermination processes to take place

Mosquitos make our lives a little harder every summer. Thanks to the weeks of heavy rain at the end of May and beginning of June, we are facing a severe invasion near the waterfronts. Luckily, extermination processes are taking place in over 400 settlements all over the country.

As Daily News Hungary reported earlier, due to the weeks of heavy rains earlier this summer, we could prepare ourselves for a record number of mosquitos. Due to the heavy rains, larvae could grow anywhere in the past weeks.

Index reports that mosquito extermination processes have started all over the country. Riverbanks were a priority, extermination already begun along the banks of Dráva, Danube and Tisza, and even in certain districts of Budapest. Another 460 settlements (around 100,000 hectares of land) can expect mosquito extermination to take place later this week.
