THE PROLIFERATION OF THE TIGER MOSQUITO IN VAUCLUSE

The Vaucluse health authorities and residents have noticed the spread of the tiger mosquito in the area. The department has been entirely colonised, including the town of Carpentras.

Tiger mosquito is a vector of serious viral diseases such as Dengue, Chikungunya, or even the Zika virus. Faced with the need to fight against the tiger mosquito, the town of Carpentras decided to act.

Qista Mosquito Trap in Carpentras – Vaucluse

The town of Carpentras turned to an environmentally responsible and connected solution. The usual large scale mosquito control technique generally consists of dispersing neurotoxic chemical products in great quantities with no precise selectivity regarding the targeted insect. The impact of this spraying and fumigation on biodiversity is catastrophic. However, the town of Carpentras preferred to shift towards a solution that is environmentally friendly. La Provence newspaper dedicated an article to the news in its 9 August issue.

Qista installed 11 mosquito traps around the main water retention ponds to control the proliferation of the insect. The innovation of the Qista solution is that every trap is connected to ensure statistical monitoring of capture and effectiveness.

The mosquito traps installed in Carpentras are completely self-sustaining. They are also protected from vandalism (anti-intrusion and anti-graffiti).
