Águilas City Council continues to work and innovate in the care and maintenance of trees.
One of the techniques that is now being applied in more than a hundred copies is called endotherapy.
"What is done is to make a small drill in the trunk of the copy - pines - and penetrate about eight centimeters, creating a hole that is used to generate a chamber that is filled with insecticide, incorporating this substance to the crude sap of the tree. In this way, it acts directly on the larvae of insects that feed on the leaves, and protects the specimen during a period of two years, "explains the mayor of Business Rendering Services, Isabel Fernandez.
This treatment is being applied again, after the good results, in more than a hundred pine trees located in different points of the municipality, among which are the Ramón y Cajal and Joaquín Tendero schools, the Hornillo park or Las Lomas, between others.
The works, supervised by a technical engineer from the STV Gestión concessionaire, are being developed by two people from the company and are expected to be completed in the coming days.
With a duration of about fifteen minutes per copy, it is not toxic or harmful either to the animal or to the pedestrians who can walk near where the work is being done.
In this way, from the aquiline City Council, the mayor highlights Fernandez, what is being achieved is that aquilines have healthy specimens, well preserved and protected against different types of larvae.
