Mosquito Control
Singapore’s Leading Mosquito Traps
Mosquito control and management of mosquito borne disease is a serious business in Singapore and around South East Asia. In 2008, Singapore confirmed 6,424 cases of dengue fever. While this is an extremely large number it is actually 2,183 cases fewer than in 2007. In 2008, the Singapore government spent an estimated US$137,000 a day on fighting the Dengue vectors and preventing them from breeding*.
In addition, Dengue and Chikungunya continue to be a threat. Condominiums, schools, institutions as well as private home owners stand to benefit the most from investing in effective and reliable mosquito traps that requires low maintenance.
