Torremolinos town hall has launched a summer rodent and insect control campaign in the municipal sewer network to reduce populations of rodents and insects like cockroaches, prevent their emergence into public areas and minimise public health risks during the peak tourist season.

The work focuses on manholes and inspection chambers, with priority given to commercial, tourist and previously affected areas.

The schedule, which began last week, covers the entire municipality, from the coastal areas of Los Álamos, Playamar, Bajondillo and La Carihuela, to the town centre, El Calvario, El Pinar, Montemar, El Pinillo and La Colina.
