Besides, it is so obvious that mosquitoes hardly breed in households if the outside areas are well kept and the drains well maintained. This is a scenario of mosquitoes invading into households because the mosquitoes had expanded from their normal breeding grounds. Now, once NEA clean up their act and maintain those outside areas where no one seems to be in charge or other agencies (eg National Park) are in charge, then the mosquitoes menace will naturally be under control. The residential households will have insect sprays and other means to kill off any mosquitoes, because no one in the households can be oblivious to mosquitoes breeding in their own homes, as they'll get bitten and they'll take actions on their own to eradicate the mosquitoes.
I totally agreee. They practically underutilised their staff by visiting households with the least danger of mosquito problems. In fact, there are so many areas with high potential breeding gound outside our home. They should also focuss their energy on catching rats, cockroaches, crows and all the nasty creatures that also potentially post health hazards. Are they so switch-off with nothing to do except to knock on doors and count their quota of visits to justify their salary? May be they find it profitable to charge households than to conduct random check on open grounds :oIo:
