Pattaya Commences Dengue Fever Prevention Campaign

PATTAYA: -- Under authority from the Public Health Ministry, the Vector Control Unit of Pattaya on Monday began a new proactive campaign designed to prevent the spread of dengue fever and other mosquito-born diseases in the city.

Pattaya, the 13th of September 2010 [PDN]: The campaign, instigated by the Pattaya Health Ministry, involves the spraying of industrial strength mosquito repellent/dispersants into areas where the insects commonly breed such as floodwater drains and pipelines throughout the city.

The chemical being used by the Vector Control Unit will kill mosquitos and their larvae, while bonding with the surface of the confined spaces to preventing future breeding of the insects. At present, chemicals have been sprayed into numerous floodwater drains and underground reservoir/pipelines throughout the Pattaya and Jomtien municipalities.
