MONOMAD - Eradicating Mosquitoes with Insecticides

6 months ago

Hello Everyone.
Today the fog crew did a great job. I really appreciate their work because they can control the mosquito population so people here don't have to worry about virus carried by mosquitoes. Although these mosquitoes can multiply quickly, misting can at least prevent the spread of the dengue virus, which is transmitted through the Aedes aegypti mosquito.

This fogging process is the first stage that is carried out before the rainy season begins. Normally in my country, there will be a rainy season from November to January. Not only is the Aedes aegypti mosquito a problem that can occur during the rainy season, but other diseases can also occur due to viruses that develop during bad weather.

Fog fog looks very thick and looks like clouds, generally, this smoke contains insecticide poisons such as pyrethrin and synthetic permethrin, which are capable of killing mosquito larvae. The poison is not too dangerous for humans, but it is not recommended to inhale the smoke because it can cause side effects, namely coughing, nausea, vomiting, itchy skin, shortness of breath and unconsciousness.

Fog officers do not need long to do this kind of work, they have to go as fast as possible they find a mosquito habitat to exterminate. Today I had the opportunity to take some photos while they misted the road and and the fogging officers worked really great. I only thank those who work for society.
