Mosquito fogging has ‘severe limitation’: NEA

SINGAPORE: The National Envionment Agency (NEA) has stepped up measures such as fogging in an effort to quell local mosquito breeding which has led to diseases such as dengue and the ongoing Zika outbreak.

But fogging has its limits, according to NEA chairman Liak Teng Lit. "When we fog, we kill not just the mosquitoes, we also kill the predators such as dragonflies. And dragonflies are nature’s air force. The dragonflies can eat as much as 100 mosquitoes a day,” he explained.

“Mosquitoes, if there are breeding sites, will recover within days. Within a week, the larvae will be flying around. But the dragonfly will take 3 to 6 months to recover. So during that period, there will be no predator to control the mosquito.”

Added Mr Liak: “So fogging, while it has some use - and quite frankly, it looks very impressive and lots of people like the fireworks; because of all the smoke, looks like something is being done - but there is severe limitation."

“EVOLVED TO REPRODUCE FAST”

The most effective method to reduce the mosquito population remains that of eliminating potential breeding habitats.

To solve the dengue and zika problem you need to do a multiple of actions at the same time .

1) Destroy all breeding sites of known Aedes mosquitoes . Pay attention especially to construction sites .
2) Destroy the Aedes mosquito population .
- many methods to kill the Aedes mosquitos not only use fogging. Please check with the experts from pest control companies .
3) Everybody in Singapore must play their part .
