Dengue Scare

Wa lau! these mosquito stuff they are advertising to entice you to buy because of the dengue fever epidemic is getting crazy. The latest gizmo from USA I think cost RM5,600. Need LPG gas and DC power to function I say Sirim ! is it been tested whether its hazardous and child safe.

Other product like this one using Titanium dioxide????? ......... my boss bought 6 pieces ( about RM190 each) to be place every corner of the house The neighbors will thank him for attracting all the menace away from theirs.


Last week DBKL people were at our neighborhood to place mosquito larvae trap devices to keep the menace population down. . Its a good approach. For once I would like to "kowtow" to them for the proactive plan and concern rather than spending tax payers' money on white elephant projects. Cannot be Ruslin.. Datuk Bandar's idea. ......cos No news on it.
Here are my ways of overcoming the nuisance:-
a. If you are taking a nap on your patio improvise a hanging mosquito netting over your lazy chair or day bed U can buy from IKEA. If cannot hook from ceiling use your baby swinging stand or floor lamp stand. Cost less than RM25
b. Have a Insect zapper (RM15 each) near you all the time. Buy a fewlah for each member and ...........you can think of a hostery to hang it so that you can bring along in the house
c. Keep your Immune system in full power always I take plenty of vegie and anti oxidant fruits or else take E.Excel but not many can afford.
d. Have your house fully netted up....... all windows and doors opening. This will cost you though RM1,500 for an entire terrace house unless you r a DIY person
