My apartment has an open drain near which is a breeding ground for mosquitoes so we get it sprayed only once a year as the person who spray himself says it’s toxic for children and refuses to spray more often. Also apparently fogging is toxic as well and some mosquitoes are developing immunity. You’re better off with local solutions like herbal strategi’s insect repellent mopping liquid. Worked well for us, not so much at my ser’s place.”Some users suggested that the issue is common across the city. “It’s at most of the hyd issue. The community association should do defogging everyday,” one comment read.When several users asked how house rent, gated society are related to mosquitoes, one user explained that maintenance in gated societies often includes pest control. “People who don’t understand how it’s related… Good society do pest control and mosquito control as well they do my society maintainance use to spray some medicine I don’t know what exactly but that use to reduce mosquito,” the user wrote.
