Silent with their black and white stripes, they sting even during the day. Tiger mosquitoes can become a nightmare during the summer. “They are small, we do not see them and it is really painful“, testifies a man met by the teams of TF1. “I live near the lake, there are plenty of them. We are bitten all the time“, complains another passer-by in the video at the top of the article.

In Aix-les-Bains (Savoie), these pests have invaded the city center and parks. To prevent their proliferation, agents advise residents. It is first necessary to identify the cause of their presence, very often linked to stagnant water, privileged places of life of mosquitoes.

They are found in “everything that is recovery tank, it can be anything and everything as long as it contains water“, explains Benjamin Thobois, prevention agent at the EID Rhône-Alpes (Interdepartmental agreement for mosquito control)

In a family met by the TF1 teams in the video above, hundreds of larvae are swimming in the tank, as can be seen in the images. It is necessary to treat quickly, because the tiger mosquito reproduces very quickly. “A female can lay up to 150 eggs, six times in her lifetime“, says Benjamin Thobois.
