L’Agence de Santé Guadeloupe, Saint-Martin, Saint-Barthélemy informs the population of Saint-Barthélemy that a new anti-vector campaign will be conducted from July 7 to July 11, 2025. This initiative follows the actions launched last December after the detection of a new mosquito species in the territory: Aedes albopictus.
This intervention will specifically target neighborhoods located between Saint-Jean and Petit-Cul-de-Sac. ARS agents will carry out enhanced surveillance by placing numerous ovitraps to monitor the evolution of the mosquito population.
Additionally, targeted anti-larval operations will be conducted using portable sprayers, allowing precise action in the most affected areas. These operations will take place early in the morning and/or late in the day, periods when the mosquito is most active.
No specific measures are required from residents, except to facilitate access to private areas that may be involved in the intervention.
L’Agence de Santé thanks the population for their cooperation and commitment to this public health initiative.
