Insect control campaigns in Romania

Overview

Local authorities in Romania have initiated disinsectization campaigns to manage insect populations.

In Ilfov County, the County Council launched terrestrial treatments targeting adult mosquitoes, including scheduled interventions in Pantelimon. The campaign utilizes the insecticide STING and includes safety warnings for residents, beekeepers, and those working with aquatic life due to the product’s toxicity to bees and fish.

In Baia Mare, the Public Urban Ambient Service expanded efforts to combat both mosquitoes and ticks. This campaign employs Solfac Trio EC 140 NF for vegetation and Vectobac WG, a biological larvicide, for stagnant water. Authorities noted that these solutions are not toxic to humans or animals at applied concentrations, provided residents avoid treated areas during nighttime operations.
