The poisons used against rats and mosquitoes
are dangerous for humans and the environment
BIOREPEM offers a new solution
that contributes to urban sustainability
Every year, specialized companies use toxic substances to rid our cities of mosquitoes and rats on behalf of municipalities.
The use of these substances is carried out as an exception to Italian and European regulations that prohibit them in the absence of valid alternatives.
THE MUNICIPALITIES WHERE THE EXPERIMENTATION TAKES PLACE
THE PARTNERS INVOLVED IN THE PROJECT
THE INSTALLED TRAPS FOR RATS AND MOSQUITOES
The BIOREPEM project tests multi-capture traps for rats and mosquitoes in public spaces in the municipalities of Fiumicino and Francavilla al Mare, along with a digital platform for service management.
It also carries out information, awareness, and training activities aimed at public administrations, businesses, citizens, and veterinarians.
MUNICIPALITY OF FIUMICINO
The multi-capture mechanical traps will be placed under the responsibility of the project partner municipalities near sensitive sites such as schools, markets, and public offices that have been pre-selected. In these sites, "traditional" pest control activities will be suspended.
MUNICIPALITY OF FRANCAVILLA AL MARE
In these locations, preventive and monitoring activities will also be carried out to further avoid the use of harmful chemicals for the environment. Thanks to the digital platform, it will be possible to collect and store data useful for the future management of pests.
