The City of Cartagena, through the Public Health Service and Laboratory of the City of Cartagena, the Department of Economic and Health Strategy deploys during these days a campaign to control the population of birds, especially to prevent the reproduction and proliferation of species considered invasive.
Within this campaign is the directed control of the population of seagulls called patiamarillas, which have displaced other species on the coast and have colonized the interior spaces of the municipality, nesting on terraces and roofs of buildings and sometimes manifesting especially aggressive during their time of aging.
The campaign will run until June 30, with a methodology similar to that of previous years that will consist of locating the nests for the descaste of the eggs (drilling of the same), without destruction of nests.
Since the Department has requested the cooperation of citizens, so that all those who locate a nest near their homes, either on its roof or in a neighboring building, communicate as soon as possible to the service by calling 968 12 89 57 to be able to act accordingly.
Since the beginning of the campaign, about two hundred points that had been mapped in other years, including the new nesting points in said cartography for later campaigns, have already been reviewed.
MEASURES TO BE FOLLOWED BY ADOPTING FOR EFFECTIVE CONTROL OF THE BIRD POPULATION
Since the Department also recalled a series of tips to be observed by citizens to prevent the proliferation of these birds, such as:
Do not throw food in Parks, Plazas or Gardens.
Efficient waste collection in school environment (schools, institutes, ...).
Do not feed them, both seagulls and pigeons, etc.
Close well urban waste containers after use, especially those close to markets of supply and large commercial or leisure areas.
Where nests have been observed in previous years, put obstacles, whenever possible, so that they can not re-nest, or simply observe the new nest formation at campaign time, in order to alert the annual campaign services, to ensure a more prompt and effective action.
Although the gull is a persistent bird, they try to avoid traumatic situations experienced previously and do not usually return to the places where they have experienced them.
In addition to the control campaign of seagulls, the municipal service also deploys during these days one on the control of the mosquito and tiger mosquito, for which has also made available to citizens a series of recommendations and measures to follow to prevent outbreaks of breed and reduce its population.
