The Health Department of Fuengirola Council has begun a programme of disinfection, decontamination and pest control in public buildings and public spaces in the run-up to the hot summer season and the possible appearance of cockroaches and other critters.

Fuengirola Council has allocated €50,000 for pest control and has extended the concession to the company Athisa for a further year. So far year, 7,200 wells/water deposits have been treated for low-level infection as well as interventions in schools and municipal buildings and facilities.
