"It is necessary to intervene with the utmost urgency to eradicate the Cagliari district of Sant'Elia from ticks , where many of the citizens complain of a real invasion".
These are the words of the municipal councilor of Cagliari Marcello Polastri who, in addressing the Municipality of Cagliari and the Antinsects Division of the metropolitan city, has drawn up an editorial board to accompany, with a series of images, a specific request for pest control intervention.
According to Polastri, the most haunted place are the flower beds in Piazza Lao Silesu in which, "for days - argues Polastri - with the arrival of the great heat, near street number 1, numerous ticks have appeared which create a worrying danger for those who frequent this area".
Ticks that attach themselves to dogs in the area and which, according to some hypotheses, were carried by birds. "But it is also likely that there was a real hatching of eggs at the base of the weeds," some speculate.
"Unfortunately - continues Marcello Polastri - there are countless ticks that have entered the houses in the area, and it is therefore reasonable to assume that, if action is not taken quickly to eradicate this problem, the health of many of our fellow citizens could be affected" .
According to Polastri, some mints have also appeared at the entrance of some buildings in the area.
"There has been no lack of cases of ticks also spotted on the floor and walls of the houses - he explains - In short, what appears to be a real invasion for which urgent checks and a long-awaited intervention are necessary to solve the critical issues and the inconvenience. sanitation ".
