mosquitoe problem

[hazel]

my uncle house has been having this serious mosquitoe problem. he has been looking thru at all the possible breeding grounds but can't find any mosquitoe breeding. suspect could be the neighbours but not sure which. as the daugther is sitting for PSLE this year, he is worried.

what can he do then?

use plugin mozzie-repellent in rooms (use ultrasonic sound etc)
Me use that for my bb room. very useful.

i've seen some mosquito traps being sold at DIY stores. they explain the concept about how mosquitoes are attracted to carbon dioxide and they use that gas to keep them away from humans. quite a fantastic device if you ask me

i actually saw this before. looks like a bbq pit. but not sure if its ideal for flats/apartments. its great tool but quite costly. if im not wrong, it comes with a dvd to teach u how to terminate the mosquitoes. thats the dvd that they play at the DIY stores.

i dont think that this device will work for a normal HDB flat unless u have a balcony. even then i may seem a little impractical due to space constraints. i personally feel that the mosquito trap looks awful too.

Here are some tips to fight off the mosquitoes on a budget

Mosquito breeding around the home can be reduced significantly by reducing the amount of standing water available for mosquito breeding.

Dispose of tin cans, plastic containers, ceramic pots or similar water-holding containers that have accumulated on your property. Do not overlook containers that have become overgrown by aquatic vegetation.

Drill holes in the bottom of recycling containers that are left out of doors. Drainage holes that are located on the sides collect enough water for mosquitoes to breed in.

Turn over plastic wading pools when not in use. A wading pool becomes a mosquito producer if it is not used on a regular basis.

Aerate ornamental pools or stock them with fish. Water gardens are fashionable but become major mosquito producers if they are allowed to stagnate.

Use landscaping to eliminate standing water that collects on your property. Mosquitoes will develop in any puddle that lasts more than 4 days.

those are some really good tips. after i saw the price of the mosquito traps in the stores, i think i'll choose the budget method now. thanks!

my neighbour just got fined for breeding mosquitoes. she had no idea that they were breeding but installed some mosquito repellent. in the end, it didnt matter because the mosquitoes' presence was her fault. must do the 'mozzy' check at least once a week. dont wanna end up paying a fine for no good reason.

I think the best way for my family to prevent mosquitoes is install the mosquito mat on all the windows in the house... This works for us so far
