Answer

What is happening with processionary moth control in Calvià, Mallorca?

In Calvià, noise cartridges are planned until February 28 to dislodge nests from trees so they can then be collected. The idea is practical, but it also raises concerns because the hairs can still remain in the area and the noise can disturb residents and wildlife. Many people see this as one tool among several, not a complete solution.
