Mosquito-control campaign under way
Print Edition
A citywide mosquito-control campaign has been launched to prevent the population of the disease-carrying insect from exploding as a result of the heavier precipitation this year’s El Nino is expected to bring, local health authorities said yesterday.
The population has already increased over this time last year due to warmer temperatures and rain, making the campaign, which will run until November, critically important, said Leng Pei’en, an official with city’s disease control and prevention center.
According to Shanghai Patriotic Health Campaign Commission, early April is the best time to kill mosquitoes because they have started reproducing but have not begun to hatch in large numbers.
High-proliferation areas such as residential complexes, markets, public toilets, construction sites and parks will be targeted. The commission said it will use safe but effective chemicals to eradicate mosquito larvae in nearly 650,000 spots where they are found breeding.
About 50 monitoring points will be added monthly in every subdistrict, and special training will be given to more than 650 pest-control team members.
