Paphos Clears Open Spaces to Prevent Fires and Control Rodents

The Municipality of Paphos is currently implementing a program to clear open spaces of wild vegetation, aiming to prevent fires ahead of the summer season and control rodent populations. The Green Service primarily uses mechanical means for clearing, limiting the use of herbicides to areas where worker safety is at risk. Special attention is given to avoiding the use of herbicides near watercourses to protect aquatic life. Strict adherence to the instructions on herbicide labels regarding dosage and safety measures is maintained, ensuring public health and environmental protection.
