ANTI-MOSQUITO CAMPAIGN IN FULL FORCE
****
AS THE EXISTING WARM AND WET WEATHER IS IDEAL FOR MOSQUITO BREEDING, PEST CONTROL STAFF FROM THE URBAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT ARE STEPPING UP ANTI-MOSQUITO ACTIVITIES IN VARIOUS DISTRICTS IN THE URBAN AREA.
FIRST TO GET OFF THE GROUND ARE THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN DISTRICTS WHERE PEST CONTROL STAFF ARE CONCENTRATING ON SOME 48 TARGET SPOTS TO ELIMINATE POTENTIAL MOSQUITO BREEDING PLACES.
THEY WILL PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO HILL SLOPES AND UNATTENDED OPEN SPACES WHERE STAGNANT WATER ARE OFTEN FOUND
IN TREE HOLES AND DISCARDED ARTICLES.
IN ORDER TO MAKE THE CAMPAIGN A SUCCESS, THE DEPARTMENT IS ENLISTING THE ASSISTANCE OF VARIOUS LOCAL AREA COMMITTEES, OWNERS INCORPORATIONS AND MUTUAL AID COMMITTEES.
THEY WILL HELP DISTRIBUTE INFORMATION LEAFLETS AND POSTERS ADVISING RESIDENTS OF VARIOUS WAYS TO PREVENT MOSQUITO BREEDING AND TO CLEAR THE NUISANCE.
OTHER DISTRICTS IN THE URBAN AREA WILL START SIMILAR ACTIVITIES SHORTLY.
