Mosquito invasion in Buenos Aires boosts the sale of repellents. Sales grew almost overnight, and the shortages that were already being verified intensified.
The Ministry of Public Space and Urban Hygiene of the City of Buenos Aires reported this Monday that it continues with the disinfestation plan in green spaces, parks and squares. The species of mosquito that caused a new invasion of the Metropolitan area of Buenos Aires and La Plata is not the one that transmits dengue. Specialists assure that the mosquitoes will live for about 20 days.
