In Singapore, a dengue cluster is considered as active cases of dengue within proximity. That means areas with a high rate of dengue clusters have more or less 10 cases of dengue. Getting rid of mosquitos in these areas should be a top priority for everyone within distance.
1. REMOVE STANDING WATER AT HOME. The number one breeding grounds for mosquitoes is standing or stagnant water. Get rid of stagnant water at home to reduce the risk of mosquitoes from multiplying inside or near your home.
2. COVER YOUR DOORS AND WINDOWS. In Singapore, mosquito infestations are quite common since it’s always hot in the country. Fortunately, you can prevent mosquitoes from invading your home by covering your doors and windows with net screens that will ensure no bug will ever get inside.
3. USE BUG REPELLENTS. Both synthetic and natural repellents are great at fending off mosquitoes. You should use a repellent that provides a pleasing aroma to make you or your home smell pleasant!
4. WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. Sure, it’s always hot, but you should wear protective clothing such as long sleeves and pants that will prevent mosquito bites. Wear something breathable so you can beat the heat and avoid the warmth of the sun.
5. TAKE OUT THE TRASH. Getting rid of pests in general, not just mosquitoes, should be a top priority. Take out the trash every day to minimise the risk of pest infestations, including mosquitoes, cockroaches, and mice.
6. GET IN TOUCH WITH A PROFESSIONAL. Make sure your home is free from pests by contacting a pest control company that will help you find out if your house is vulnerable. Contact a pest control professional in Singapore to check for mice, cockroaches, and mosquitoes.
