Dengue Prevention Checklist for Families & Housing Societies

Protect Your Loved Ones with Expert Tips from MA Pest Control LLP

The monsoon can cool you off, but it also introduces one of the biggest and most dangerous nuisances – mosquitoes! The tiny but mighty mosquito (particularly Aedes aegypti) is responsible for the spread of dengue, a potentially fatal disease.

At MA Pest Control LLP, our philosophy is this: prevention is your first and strongest line of defence. For individuals living in a family condo or in a housing society, this checklist will assist you in taking quick reactive measures against dengue-carrying mosquitoes!

Dengue Prevention Checklist For Each household

Please remember to empty or scrub your buckets, coolers, flower pots, or pet bowls weekly.

2.   Use Mosquito Nets & Screens

Install window screens and you and your family can use nets while sleeping at night, particularly your children and your elders.

3.   Apply Mosquito Repellents

Choose skin repellents that are safe for your skin! You can use natural oils such as citronella to use inside the house.

4.   Wear Clothing with Long Sleeves

Encourage yourself and those within your household to wear clothing with long sleeves and clothing that covers your legs. This way at low light times, i.e. early waking time (before sunrise) and dusk mosquitoes do not want to be swatting away at you.

5.   Clean and Dry the house

Mosquitoes love dark, damp, areas—be sure to dry your bathroom floor and wipe-up water spills to deter mosquitoes.

For Housing Societies / Buildings:

1.Inspect Water Tanks and Gutters

Check your surface tanks and all drains to ensure they are sealed so that water does not become stagnant.

2.Fogging in Common Areas

Schedule monthly fogging with a professional pest control operator, e.g., MA Pest Control LLP.

3.Check Plant Pots and Gardens

Check that excess water is drained from the bottom plates of pots and that soil is not overly soggy and water-logged.

4.Educate your Residents with Notices or Posters

Put posters or flyers in lifts and on notice boards outlining the symptoms of dengue and why reducing mosquito breeding is important.

5.Regular and Ongoing Professional Treatment

Encourage licensed pest control companies to carry out regular monitoring and provide treatment methods in places where mosquito breeding occurs.
