How Apartment Associations Can Prevent Mosquito Breeding During Monsoon

Mosquitoes do not respect individual property boundaries. An apartment block can only remain safe from dengue if the entire society participates in mosquito prevention. Here is a guide for apartment associations to implement during the monsoon.

Targeting Community Mosquito Breeding Hotspots

Ensure these areas are inspected and treated weekly:

• Overhead and Underground Water Sumps: Must be kept airtight and screened with mesh.
• Rainwater Harvesting Pits: Apply larvicide granules (Temephos) to destroy mosquito larvae.
• Basement Parking Puddles: Ensure drainage pumps are working to prevent standing water.
