Fighting against the invasion of mosquitoes in Lyon
Mosquitoes are not only a nuisance; they also pose a risk to public health. In Lyon, as elsewhere in France, professional interventions can offer a great solution to reduce their proliferation. In this article, we explore different strategies, costs, and the importance of disinfecting.
Understanding the mosquito problem in Lyon
Types of mosquitoes present
Lyon is influenced by several mosquito species, among which the tiger mosquito is particularly feared for its ability to transmit viral diseases such as chikungunya and dengue. It is therefore essential to achieve a effective intervention.
Areas at risk
Mosquitoes proliferate in wetlands. In Lyon, this includes the banks of the Rhône and the Saône, as well as the uncovered swimming pools. If you live close to these areas, your risk is increased, and specific solutions, such as [Pool mosquito treatment in Lyon: rapid elimination](/blog/treatment-moustic-piscine-a-lyon-elimination-rapid), can be considered.
Professional insect control techniques
Thermonebulization and spraying
These two techniques are often used to intervene in a more radical way. They consist of spraying insecticides into thin droplets, effectively exterminating mosquitoes and their larvae in a wide radius.
Natural barriers
The use of repellent plants such as lemongrass or neem around your outdoor spaces can reduce the presence of mosquitoes locally, while improving the aesthetics of the place.
Integration of new technologies
Innovative sensors are able to detect mosquito movement, allowing automated action to keep them away. This is one of the emerging solutions mentioned in the article on [3D Extermination of pests](/blog/3d-extermination-de-pests-technical-effective-and-emergent-solutions).
Estimated costs and funding
Understanding the cost of this is fundamental to conducting an intervention. This varies according to the techniques, the area and the severity of the infestation.

|---|---|
| Thermonebulization | 250€ - 400€ |
| Barrier treatment | 150€ - 300€ |
