High AC voltage affects the pcb

pcbtrace

I had a PCB board printed that has some relays that are connected to 220 VAC circuit.
Now unfortunately some traces passes near the relays and are affected by this high voltage causing the circuit to fail.

Is there a way to stop the effect of this high voltage on the near traces?

Regards

If you are just trying to make your current board work, can you just solder an RC Snubber circuit across the actual contacts switching the AC?

For 220VAC, I'd go about 150-250 ohms in series with .1uF. That might help clean up some switching noise (and reduce contact wear).
