India's Commonwealth Games Mess

Article by HARI KUMAR from http://www.nytimes.com

NEW DELHI — Indian health officials have struggled to allay domestic concerns about dengue fever even as the country scrambles to finish construction projects in time for the Commonwealth Games, which will take place here in less than a month.

India is expecting 8,000 athletes and team officials from 71 countries and territories for the games, which bring together nations that were formerly part of the British Commonwealth. Delays and allegations of corruption have already marred India’s preparations, and the dengue outbreak is just the latest concern for Indian officials, partly because the athletes’ quarters will be near a breeding ground for the mosquitoes that spread the disease.

Some countries like Australia and New Zealand have issued travel warnings . . .

Testimonial

Hey,
Let me share with you guys about my experience using Mosquito Attractants MMA. I manage to try these mosquito traps that borrow from my friend who studies in University Malaya (UM). Before I used this trap, my friend explains that this trap should only use at night with dark surrounding.

I’ve been using it inside my house for five days. In this five days, this mosquito trap manage to caught up to 8 mosquitoes per night inside a bedroom which is really good compare to I used mosquito killer bat which only can kill one or two mosquito one night and it make you feel frustrated and can’t sleep for the whole night. So with only five days I try this MMA, I’ve already found out that its works really well especially during rainy day where it caught more mosquito.

Below were some of the photos taken from me

This is the actual MMA set that my friend asks me to test.

MMA were placed under the table in the dining room at around 8pm

This is how MMA is being installed in the dining area

Those are mosquitoes that been caught by MMA.

Sample of mosquitoes that been caught by MMA

Based on the experience that I went through for only five days, I found out that this MMA is suitable for me who live in an area with big trees and plant behind my house and surrounding by lots of mosquitoes during day time and at night.

Furthermore, I’m looking towards that this Mosquito Attractants MMA will be available in the market soon and i truly hope that this MMA can retard and exterminating the growth of mosquitoes so that it can reduce dengue cases that are keeps increasing in Malaysia. Finally, I hope you can update me more about the testing result of MMA in future.

Trapping mosquitoes with Organic Mosquito Attractant and trap

Every one of us does experience mosquitoes bitten before. In order to protect ourselves from mosquito bites, a lot of people do applied mosquito repellent, mosquito coil, aerosol, mosquito mat, mosquito swatter, or mosquito trap.

Well most of repellents only repel but not killing mosquitoes. So in a short period of time, they will come back to bite or even worst they will multiply more, if not catching them fast enough.

Here we would like to introduce a mosquito attractant that will attract the female mosquitoes. Trap them and kill the female mosquitoes effectively without having to move around to look for them.

These attractant and trap are suitable to be used at outdoor. Trap the mosquitoes before they come into your house.

Let’s look at the video of how the organic attractants attract the mosquitoes
