DEAR FREINDS,
WHY IT IS
ESSENTIAL TO ERRADICATE MOSQUITO
1.Because
it causes discomfort,diseases & death.
2.It
disturbs sleep leading to inadequate sleep which may lead to industrial &
road side serious accidents.
3.One has
to burn goodnights ,all outs kchuwa chap agarwati etc ,has to keep the windows
7 doors closed to prevent mosquitoes from entering house.All this causes indoor
pollution & increased chance of transmission of communicable diseases.
4.One has
to put the fan on high speed to avoid its bite causing increases incidence of
breathing problems,common cold etc specially in children & old age leading
to hospitalisation
5.By taking
all measures ,one or its all family members, cannot be 100% sure of safety from
mosquito bite all the time.
6.Because
it is very very easy to eradicate mosquito rather then to prevent its bite if
we take following steps.
7.If
mosquitoes are not eradicated ,a society of say 1000 houses looses annuallyat
least 30,000/year on purchase of mosquito repellents besides other above
mentioned risks & problems.
8.Blood
& platelets transfusion has its own dangerous risks of transmission of
blood born diseases like hepatitis B & HIV
STEPS TO BE TAKEN TO ERRADICATE MOSQUITO :
1.First of
all we have to believe /convince ourselves that:
a) mosquito
can be eradicated .
b)Mosquito
can breed in stagnant water only if an adult mosquito from somewhere comes to
site of stagnant water & lays eggs in it .
3.We
ourselves have to search for breeding sites not only in our desert coolers but
in other places also like any water collection in drains ,ditches ,ponds etc.
For such a dangerous animal ,one does not have to depend upon officials of govt
department when it is only one time measure & one can do it.If we search
100 sites we may find breeding in only 10 sites & if we spray diesel in all
10 sites ,next time we may find breeding in only 1-2 sites.The number has to
decrease day by day.In just 10 days an area can be free from mosquitoes for
ever if adjacent RWAs do it together .
4.We have
to survey the area & find out the colony which is having massive mosquito
presence even in severe winter or severe summer.It can be confirmed by visiting
the colony in the evening & looking for mosquitoes & speaking to
people.
5.Search or
ask people of the area with heavy
mosquito presence about where abouts of massive collection of water .
6.Look for
area of maximum breeding & get it cleaned by paying to the casual willing
workers living nearby.We can always find some needy persons who will do it for
some money.Put some diesel to kill larvae.If stagnation is removed or the water
is cleaned of major debris & some diesel is sprayed the breeding may not
recur.If it recurs ,the process can be
repeated once or twice every 4th day.
Mosquitoes
of all types whether of dengue or malaria or brain fever , come out & fly
off from the place of breeding in evening just after sunset & can be easily
seen.It indirectly identifies the hidden place of breeding which some times may
be difficult to detect in day time as some times water is too little &
hidden to be seen in the partially covered drains.Initially it is difficult to
identify larvae specially if they are too many & mixed with debris.It
becomes esy to identify if we sprinkle little diesel over the suspected site of
breeding.If there is breeding the water surface will start vibrating due to
increased activity of larvae due to blockage of dissolved oxygen supply &
larvae will stand out clearly .
7.When a
big site is eradicated/controlled ,many small sites automatically vanish &
99% of mosquito problem in an area of 8 kms around is solved.If at all ,there remains
an area with breeding ,it can be detected & controlled.
8.Today the
problem is as we all including the care takers of buildings ,schools
,institutions only worry about breeding in desert coolers as malaria department
challans only if there is breeding in desert coolers .All of us are conditioned
to look only in coolers.We all think that to check & take care of breeding
in drains 7 ponds is the duty of malaria workers .We all depend upon few
workers of malaria department for our dangerous problem of centuries.This
problem is no problem if we just share the work of malaria department &
look for breeding sites other then
desert coolers not only in rainy season but even in severe winter & cold
,not only in our own colony but in other colonies also.
9.We all
are intelligent .It is not right to allow mosquito to kill us ,terrorise us ,to
lock our selves behind closed doors & windows.
10.Remeber
it breeds only in stagnant water that too in that portion which is in darkness
& all larvae die if diesel/kerosene oil sprayed.
