Santa Cruz de Tenerife Launches Weekly Pest Control Campaign in Salud-La Salle District
The Santa Cruz de Tenerife City Council has launched a week-long pest control campaign across the Salud-La Salle district, urging residents to assist by reporting issues via the "SC Mejora" platform and maintaining proper waste disposal habits.
Managing public health in crowded cities is a top priority for local officials, who are working to reduce health risks through regular, planned maintenance. The Santa Cruz de Tenerife City Council has announced a new schedule for the Salud-La Salle district, where teams will monitor and treat public spaces for pests throughout the coming week.
The work begins on Monday in Los Gladiolos and Los Verodes, moving to Buenavista on Tuesday and El Chapatal on Wednesday. The team will finish in La Salle and La Victoria on Thursday, and the San Sebastián neighborhood on Friday. These efforts to control rodents and insects are part of a preventive program designed to stop health issues before they start.
The City Council is also asking for help from residents to make these efforts more effective. People are encouraged to report any issues through the "SC Mejora" digital platform, which helps the council track reports and respond to specific problems more quickly.
These campaigns are a key part of the city’s public health strategy, but officials note that success also depends on the community. Residents are reminded to practice good hygiene habits, such as disposing of trash properly, keeping organic waste off the streets, and avoiding the storage of materials that could attract pests. By combining proactive inspections with resident cooperation, the City Council aims to maintain high standards of urban cleanliness across every neighborhood.
