It just takes one bite

The peak season for dengue is from June to October because of warmer weather, faster multiplication of the virus in mosquitoes and accelerated development of the mosquitoes. Singapore is bracing itself for a major dengue outbreak.

What happens if you get dengue?

While up to 75 per cent of dengue infections are asymptomatic, severe illness tends to be more common among the younger population.

In rare cases, dengue fever may develop into dengue haemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome — severe forms of infection that can result in death. Please do seek medical help if these symptoms do not wear off.

Keep Mosquitoes Out 

We think you should have control on this situation. Stagnant water is the key breeding ground for mosquitos and it is recommended that you do the Mozzie Wipeout at least once a week to prevent mosquito breeding. Here are some of the places that you need to check:

Those living in dengue cluster areas, here are the 3 additional strongly encouraged protective actions to carry out against dengue:

  • Spray Insecticide in dark corners of the house
  • Apply insect repellent regularly
  • Wear long sleeves and pants

Repellents containing DEET (N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide), picaridin or IR3535 as the active ingredient are the most effective in repelling mosquitoes.

While homeowners may take precautionary measures to prevent their homes from becoming a mosquito breeding ground, mosquitoes may still breed in your home due to carelessness. Since many of these cases are due to the homeowner’s own negligence, it is difficult for these homeowners to determine the source of mosquito breeding.

As such, it is important to call upon a professional pest control company to inspect and identify all potential breeding ground as well as put measures in place to Mosquito control once and for all.
