Shanghai launches the second centralized mosquito control week this summer, and the mosquito density in July will reach the peak of the year for mosquitoes and flies
Shanghai launched the second concentrated mosquito and insect control week of this summer today, and carried out cockroach control in the summer simultaneously. The latest results of vector biology monitoring in this city show that in July, when plum blossoms appear, the temperature rises sharply, precipitation increases, mosquito and fly breeding speeds up, and mosquito density will reach the peak of the year. It is necessary to combine the special action of patriotic health mosquito control in summer and autumn to remove mosquito breeding grounds, and to put mosquito killing agents on the accumulated water that cannot be removed. In some areas with high density of adult mosquitoes and flies, spatial spray and residual spraying will be carried out to reduce the density of mosquitoes and flies, so as to reduce the epidemic risk of mosquito borne infectious diseases such as dengue fever and intestinal infectious diseases.
Effectively control the density of "four pests", such as mosquitoes and flies, and lay a solid foundation for the prevention and control of key infectious diseases in summer and autumn. From May 22 to October, the city comprehensively carried out the patriotic health campaign to prevent and kill mosquitoes in summer and autumn, and carried out centralized and unified mosquito control activities throughout the city through the monthly centralized action week. Each district concentrated on the prevention and control knowledge, urban and rural environment improvement, and breeding environment cleaning, further improving the urban and rural environmental health, strengthening the maintenance of vector biological facilities, and doing a good job in disinfection and sterilization control in areas with high adult mosquito density.
According to the Municipal Love and Health Office, during the first Mosquito and Insect Control Week in June, a total of 9568 units were mobilized in the city, with 67000 participants. Nearly 30000 areas were renovated, and nearly 40000 areas of accumulated water were cleared; 9535 professionals were dispatched, 8891 key areas were controlled, more than 340000 ponding was controlled by dosing, and more than 20000 environments were disinfection and sterilization, with an area of 8.786 million square meters disinfection and sterilization.
From July 17th to 21st, this city organized the second Mosquito and Insect Control Week.
