Belgrade residents can expect a targeted effort against mosquitoes this coming Tuesday, May 5th, as the city's "Gradska ฤistoฤ‡a" (City Cleanliness) department launches a large-scale spraying operation. This initiative aims to curb the mosquito population, particularly in areas along the Kolubara and Sava rivers and surrounding settlements, from 4:15 PM to 9:00 PM.

The operation will utilize both ground and water-based devices employing "thermal and cold fogging" methods. The specific areas targeted include Uลกฤ‡e, and the settlements of Skela, Krtinska, Urovci, Zabran, Zabreลพje, Bariฤ, and Rojkovac. This comprehensive approach is designed to maximize effectiveness in reducing mosquito numbers, which can be a significant nuisance and potential health concern during warmer months.

Preparat koji koriste ekipe "Gradska ฤistoฤ‡aโ€ registrovalo je Ministarstvo za zaลกtitu ลพivotne sredine i upisani su u Privremenu listu biocidnih proizvoda ลกto znaฤi da graฤ‘ani nemaju razloga za strah.

โ€” Gradska ฤistoฤ‡aAssuring citizens about the safety and registration of the mosquito control preparation.

"Gradska ฤistoฤ‡a" has assured the public that the preparations used are registered with the Ministry of Environmental Protection and are listed on the Temporary List of Biocidal Products. This is intended to alleviate any fears citizens might have regarding the safety of the treatment. However, the operation is contingent on favorable weather conditions, specifically the absence of rain and strong winds, and optimal temperatures. Beekeepers are particularly advised to take necessary precautions to protect their bee colonies during the treatment period, highlighting the delicate balance between pest control and environmental protection that city services must manage.

Tretmani ฤ‡e biti sprovedeni iskljuฤivo ukoliko vremen bude povoljno za to: da nema kiลกe i jakog vetra, i da temperatura bude optimalna za to
