Remove water in plant pot plates. Clean and scrub the plate thoroughly toremove mosquito eggs. Avoid the use of plant pot plates, if possible. Loosen soil from potted plants to prevent the accumulation of stagnant wateron the surface of the hardened soil. Avoid placing potted plants and other paraphernalia over the drains. Cover rarely used gully traps. Replace the gully trap with non-perforatedones and install anti-mosquito valves. Cover bamboo pole holders after use. Rainwater can potentially accumulatein these bamboo pole holders if they are uncovered and create a habitat. No tray or receptacles should be placed beneath and or/ on top of any air-conditioning unit so as not to create a condition favorable for mosquitobreeding. 17. Every other day: Change water in flower vases. Clean and scrub the inner sides of vases. Washroots of flowers and plants thoroughly as mosquito eggs can stick to them easily.Once a week: Clear fallen leaves and stagnant water in your scupper drains and garden. Theseleaves could collect water or cause blockages to the drains, thus resulting in thebuildup of stagnant water. Clear any stagnant water in your air cooler unit.Once a month: Add prescribed amounts of sand granular insecticide into vases, gully traps androof gutters, even if they are dry.
