No abate in mosquitos

Following the installation of the first black-hole mosquito trap and the intermittent rains, the mosquito problem has escalated. The intermittent rains have made the situation worse by keeping the stagnant water levels in the drains optimal for mosquito breeding as opposed to torrential thunderstorms which was away mosquito eggs and larvae.

So I went out and bought 2 more photo-catalytic black hole traps. Thanks to my brother, who discovered another make at a cheaper price, I saved me quite a bit of money buying these ones. What's more this make even comes with 2 free replacement bulbs.





I've placed the traps in each likely corner and within just a couple of days, the number of mosquitos trapped is simply staggering. To think that without the traps, they would all have come into our living area. This time around, I shall remove all the beetles and moths and other non-mosquitos and weigh the vampires. Perhaps that statistic will lend some weight to the gravity of this pestilence plaguing Ara Damansara.

The drains, the drains, the drains around our houses need to be opened up and cleared of debris. When authorities, when?
