Messinia announces bait spraying program for olive protection

The Messinia Directorate of Agricultural Economy and Veterinary Medicine has announced a bait spraying program scheduled for Friday, October 2, 2026, to protect olive production in the region.

Spraying operations will commence in the local community of Kalochori and continue in Ampelokipon, Pidasos, Sperchogeia, Exochori, and the Pylos municipal community, specifically in the Pylokampos and Yalova areas.

Olive growers are requested to cooperate with program officials and ensure access to fenced olive groves by removing obstacles and weeds. For safety reasons, spraying will not take place in groves where animals are present; owners must remove livestock prior to the scheduled date. Additionally, beekeepers are advised to take necessary precautions to protect their hives.
