• Deratization , which includes the control and elimination of rodents, particularly rats and mice, considered harmful to public health.
• Disinfestation , which includes the control and elimination of harmful or disease-spreading insects in general, and in particular, diptera (including mosquitoes) and their larvae; It also includes population control of the pine processionary, blatodeos (different species of cockroaches) and any insect with a possible impact on public health.
• Disinfection , which includes immediate or delayed elimination, the latter through removal of infected waste, of germs harmful to health.

The councilor responsible for pest control, Diana Box Alonso, has given a very positive assessment of this new contract, which will serve to respond to possible pests that may occur over the next five years.

Among the execution of the works that will be carried out , mosquito control stands out (weekly checks and special events due to rain), deratization, disinfestation and disinfection in public centers (teaching centers and markets, sports centers and other municipal offices), control processionary (teaching centers and parks and gardens) and exterior surfaces (exterior surfaces, parks and gardens and attention to notices).
