The councilman of Gardens, Francisco González, explained this morning that the treatments against the red palm weevil in the different palms of the municipality "are being made in time and form as specified in the technical specifications approved at the time and through the company adjudicataria, Ingeniería Natural, Agua y Medio Ambiente SL, responsible for the management of gardens ".
The reports of the technical engineer of municipal gardens, of the company and of the official in charge of the follow-up of the works of the company certify it, "assuring that even more of the product is used than necessary".
Likewise, they have indicated that the integrated fight treatment indicated by the press release of IU-LV that should have been used is currently in disuse.
"The traps that are proposed are only used in studies and tests, since they exerted a strong attraction to the beetle and it was determined to be more harmful than beneficial," they say in the report.
