The Ades Egypti mosquito<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Environmental Health Department will be enforcing laws to stop the breeding of mosquitoes on the island.<\/p>\n

Chief Environmental Health Officer Anthony Scotland is reporting that an increase in the Ades Egypti mosquito is alarming.<\/p>\n

According to him, those who refuse to adhere to preventative measures in breeding the mosquitoes will be prosecuted.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe National Pest has stepped up their activity on the island in that all around the island they are inspecting more homes. They are also treating areas that mosquitoes are found breeding. We have also been applying legislation laws. There are people who are constantly found breeding mosquitoes and they are now being issued with notices. They will be prosecuted if the measures are not taken,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Meantime Scottland said officials will be stepping up its education drive around the island.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is critical that we manage our solid waste properly. Waste management is important,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The Ades Egypti mosquito is a carrier of dengue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Environmental Health Department will be enforcing laws to stop the breeding of mosquitoes on the island.
