Making simple DIY mosquito traps


Thong (third from left) said the traps would be a good way to eradicate dengue in housing areas, adding that the strategy would be extended to Search and Destroy Aedes Rangers (Sedar) teams for implementation.

WHAT would have cost RM20 to trap mosquitoes in the past can now be easily made for less than a fraction of the price using mineral water bottles, tape, soft netting and non-toxic insect glue.

This was what SS20 residents found out at a session to make a do-it-yourself (DIY) mosquito trap guided by officers from the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) Environmental Health Department.
