The Las Palmas de Gran Canaria City Council carried out a total of 220 disinfection and deratization interventions during the past month of October across the city's five districts, aiming to preserve public health and ensure citizen well-being.

The actions took place in streets, squares, parks, and municipal facilities, as reported by the Councilor for Social Welfare, Equality, Care, and Health, Carmen Luz Vargas, during the Social Welfare, Equality, Education, and Sports Commission.
Of the total interventions, 143 were performed by the urban sanitary control group of the Public Health Section, with 87 corresponding to deratization and 56 to disinfection.
By district, 49 interventions were carried out in Tamaraceite-San Lorenzo; 34 in Vegueta, Cono Sur, and Tafira; 27 in Ciudad Alta; 17 in Centro; and 16 in Isleta-Puerto-Guanarteme.
The municipal service's contracted company performed an additional 77 interventions during October in streets, squares, and municipal facilities, using deratization and disinfection treatments.
The City Council thus continues its urban sanitary control actions in the municipality's neighborhoods, combining scheduled treatments with responses to citizen reports. Municipal teams address these reports within a maximum of 48 hours.
