In parallel with responding to service requests, municipalities continued to carry out preventive spraying campaigns across residential neighbourhoods, public spaces, and high-risk areas. These efforts were supported by ongoing community awareness initiatives, aimed at educating the public on best practices to reduce insect breeding and prevent infestations.
Additionally, municipalities actively promoted the insect and rodent control request service through the “Oun” application. These integrated efforts demonstrate the commitment of Qatar’s municipalities to proactive public health protection, rapid response to community needs, and sustainable environmental management.
