The Municipality of Spata–Artemida announces that on Tuesday 8 September 2026, mosquito control operations will take place at Alyki (Lake) in the Municipal Unit of Artemida.
This is the 17th round of ground-based larviciding as part of the mosquito control programme run by the Regional Unit of Eastern Attica.
The announcement was issued by the Municipality’s Department of the Environment, Green Spaces and Civil Protection Department of the Municipality (ref. no. 70515/03-09-2026), following document no. 1117746/02-09-2026 from the Regional Unit of Eastern Attica.
The Artemida Salt Marsh is one of the sites that are systematically monitored throughout the season, as the stagnant water favours the breeding of mosquitoes — an issue of particular importance this year, with the number of West Nile virus cases in the municipality having reached 19.
