Green areas are safe in Altındağ... Altındağ Municipality, which continues its activities with great care in order to ensure that the people of Altındağ live in a healthier and cleaner environment, has started a fight against all green area pests, especially ticks. The disinfection work carried out by Altındağ Municipality teams in green areas, wooded areas, parks and picnic areas was greatly appreciated by the citizens. The teams wore protective clothing, masks, glasses and gloves and carried out their disinfection activities meticulously.
“As the weather gets warmer, green field pests are increasing”
Providing information about the pesticide activities carried out, Altındağ Mayor Dr. Veysel Tiryaki "Recently, with the warming of the weather, our green areas have become more important. Warming weather causes all green area pests, especially ticks, to stay alive for longer, develop and reproduce rapidly. In addition, reasons such as animal transfers due to Eid al-Adha and animals moving closer to city centers increase the risk. Due to the intense demands from our citizens, we have started disinfection work in our green areas. Especially for the Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) disease." "We are carrying out an effective fight against all green area pests, including the tick that infects them," he said.
“OUR WORK WILL CONTINUE”
Emphasizing that disinfection efforts will continue in green areas, parks and picnic areas where there is a high demand, Mayor Tiryaki said, "Citizens who encounter tick pests in their surroundings can inform our municipality without panicking or coming into contact with the pest. You can reach us through our Altın Masa Call Center at 444 39 19, send it to our municipality's social media accounts or our WhatsApp reporting line at 0552 444 3919." “I wish everyone healthy and happy days,” he said.
