French mayor bans tiger mosquitoes from flying day and night

😁 The mayor of a French commune has issued a decree banning tiger mosquitoes from flying during the day and night.

It sounds like a fairy tale, but...

Reason: the mosquito spreads dangerous diseases, and its flights and bites irritate residents. The ban applies to streets, squares, parks, gardens, near water bodies, and public buildings.

A spotted mosquito must immediately stop flying and head to a trap. Police are monitoring compliance. Swallows, bats, and other animals are allowed to help catch the violators.
