S1 – SEARCH AND DESTROY
Throw away, turn over, empty or store under roof any container that
may accumulate water. Always place a tight lid on containers used for
water storage (buckets, drums). Check that there are no mosquito
larvae or pupae (kiti-kiti) in stored water (empty the container, wash
walls with a brush to remove eggs, rinse, and cover). Maintain running
water in fountains, artificial lakes or estuaries. Place fish in ornamental
fountains that are always filled with water.
S2 – SELF-PROTECTION MEASURES
Use screens on doors and windows. Use insecticides such as
Permethrin (pesticides and repellent) and Allethrin (candies and
lanterns. Wear long sleeves T-shirts, long pants, socks, and closed
shoes to avoid mosquito bites at dusk and dawn especially. Use
repellents containing DEET (N, N-diethy-m-toluamide) or Picaridin on
your clothing and exposed skin. Follow the manufacture instructions.
S3 – SEEK EARLY CONSULTATION
If you or a family member has fever of 2 days duration and rashes on
the skin, consult your physician or visit the nearest health center. If it
is dengue, serious complications of the disease can develop. If the
complications are recognized early, and a doctor is consulted, it may
save the patient’s life.
S4 – SAY NO TO INDISCRIMINATE FOGGING
Fogging operations fall because these merely drive away mosquitoes
to other areas. Yes to fogging only outbreaks.
