The mosquitoes are invasive and can carry viruses such as Zika

ALFAZ DEL PI is combating the invasive tiger mosquitoes, now spreading along the Mediterranean coast, with drones.

She stressed the importance of public cooperation in helping to control the mosquitoes. Leaflets were published describing the preventative measures, that include a trap using a plastic bottle baited with water, yeast and sugar.
