The money is to used to help those municipalities fight against the horrible tiger mosquito, which is increasing in numbers due to the damp conditions of much of May. The non native, accidentally imported insect has a "bite" which is far worse than a home grown mosquito, they are also capable of carrying some nasty diseases. A total of 350,000€ is to be shared for the purchase of insecticide sprays etc.  More ...

      They have been breeding tiger mosquitos, which are sterile, and then releasing them into the wild. In pilot schemes, this has been shown to reduce populations by as much as 80%.

      These mosquitos can carry up to 22 different diseases, many of them very harmful to humans, so finding ways to stop them spreading is top priority.

      I hope this is OK to post , it may help others like me who the mozzies love to bite .
      We're just back from a lovely stay in the new gold Arcos Hotel , and normally October half term I usually come back covered in bites , but I saw a post a few days before we set of , about a little shop in Llandudno, That make a roll on called Bug Away , and how good it was , so I quickly sent them an email , and explained , I need some ASAP.
      Peter the owner got into action , even though it was a Friday night , he had it delivered by Monday.
      And saved me a heap load of pain , itching, sleepless nights .
      I didn't get one bite , and neither did my disabled son and granddaughter .
      Search Llandudno Emporium Bug Away , it even smells nice .
      Game changer for me .
