The Bucharest City Hall has the obligation to ensure that DDD treatments are carried out only at the public and private objectives of the locality. These are included annually in the Unitary Action Program (PUA), by categories of objectives, for each type of treatment. Natural and legal persons have the obligation to provide DDD operations on the premises they own (HORECA industry, supermarkets, housing, etc.). In order to have a uniform treatment at the level of the Municipality of Bucharest, these treatments must be carried out by legal entities at the same time as the PUA treatments, otherwise they risk fines between 2000-10000 Ron. For more details see point 9.

PUA 2023 contains treatments for deratization (rats), disinsection (adult mosquitoes, larval mosquitoes, ticks, wasps, cockroaches) and disinfection. Treatments against cockroaches and wasps are carried out only on request, in case of an outbreak/nest.
Treatments against other vectors (e.g. fleas, mice, etc.) are not provided from the PMB budget, and are the responsibility of the owners’ associations, economic agents, individuals.
