Defining the News

The Arc de Triomphe reflects in an official’s store window for the Paris 2024 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris. One hundred years after the black-and-white Olympic Games of 1924, France is putting its image on the line by hosting the Summer Olympics in the heart of the French capital in six months’ time, in a tense international context.

Authorities have tried in vain to get rid of the insects, including by fumigating parts of Paris, a technique regularly used in tropical cities. Fontenille said dealing with stagnant water would “take care of 80 percent of the problem” if there was a “citizens’ mobilisation” to clean up even smallest amounts of water left in flower bowls or saucers.

A variation consists of fooling the insects into laying their eggs in the trap, where they are destroyed.
