Subject: eradication of mosquito in Ward No. 112
Sir.
This is a letter to draw your attention to the problem of mosquitoes in our locality. Our area falls under Ward Number 112. For the past 3-4 months the problem of mosquitoes have increased rapidly. It is a result of the insanitary slum areas and overflowing of drains. The drainage system in our locality is deplorable. These drains and the uncovered drums and water reservoirs of slum areas are the breeding areas of the mosquitoes. In the last month there were cases reported on dengue, and malaria. This could be really fatal for all of us in the society. Since few months no corporation representative came to spread DDT powder in the drains and other concerned places. This will severe the situation to the worst. Thus, it is a request from all of us of ward no. 112, that it would be really nice if you could personally visit our area and see the vulnerable condition yourself. If visiting personally is not possible then please send some of your representatives to take necessary action to stop the breeding of mosquito larvae.
Thanking you,
Yours Truly

Answer:
The insecticide used in the mosquito foggingis a synthetic pyrethroid that is very similar to the insecticides used in most domestic insect spray cans that are found on supermarket shelves.Fogging is a technique used for killing insects that involves using a fine pesticide spray (aerosol) which is directed by a blower. In some cases, a hot vapour may be used to carry the spray and keep it airborne for longer. Fast-acting pesticides like pyrethroids are typically used.So, when you are mosquito fogging, for the first week you should fog your target area every day or every two days to disrupt their breeding cycle. This will help you get rid of all the adult mosquitoes and their eggs. After that, you can increase the fogging interval to once per week.
