Tens of thousands of households warned by letter about tiger mosquitoes in the area

The NVWA is notifying residents within 100 or 500 meters of tiger mosquito findings, conducting inspections, and applying larvicides where necessary. They are monitoring hotspots, particularly in Lent, where numerous mosquitoes have been found. The agency aims to eradicate the tiger mosquito, although complete prevention is deemed impossible. The risk of tropical diseases remains low in the Netherlands, with cases primarily linked to travel to tropical regions.
