ANTI-MOSQUITO CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED IN SHA TIN
*****
THREE PEST CONTROL TEAMS HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED BY THE REGIONAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT TO INSPECT POTENTIAL MOSQUITO-BREEDING PLACES IN SHA TIN AS PART OF A TWO-WEEK ANTI-MOSQUITO CAMPAIGN.
THE CAMPAIGN, WHICH STARTED TODAY (MONDAY), IS AIMED AT ELIMINATING MOSQUITO BREEDING IN STREAMS, VILLAGES, HOUSING ESTATES AND CONSTRUCTION SITES TO SAFEGUARD PUBLIC HEALTH, AN RSD SPOKESMAN SAID.
PEST CONTROL STAFF WILL SPRAY INSECTICIDE OR LARVICIDAL OIL TO KILL THE INSECTS OR LARVAE IF MOSQUITO BREEDING IS DETECTED.
A BROADCASTING VAN WILL ALSO VISIT ALL HOUSING ESTATES IN THE DISTRICT TO SPREAD THE ANTI-MOSQUITO MESSAGE.
AS MOSQUITOES BREED ONLY IN STAGNANT WATER, THE PUBLIC IS
URGED TO TAKE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES:
* DISCARD ALL UNUSED TINS, BOTTLES, RECEPTACLES AND OLD
TYRES;
* KEEP WATER STORAGE TANKS WELL COVERED
* ENSURE PROPER DRAINAGE TO PREVENT CHOKAGE; AND
* CHANGE WATER IN VASES AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK AND PREVENT
WATER ACCUMULATING IN TRAYS AND FLOWER BEDS.
