It is a big problem all over India where all govt.’s department
has been working without proper system or knowledge of what is the benefit or
loss of it. Now civic officials have been adopting chemical Malathion or pyrethrum both of these
chemicals is nothing but biological poison fogging to tackle our mosquito
menace in the city. Health department is not systematic impact study on these
chemicals. No doubt civic body the methods that is being used here are the same
those used internationally.
It is clear that the mosquitoes are actively looking for
food at dusk and dawn. Therefore fogging is done at those times have a high
chance to killing the mosquitoes since mosquitoes are also active in doors, the
fogman must fog in doors also. They can’t fog indoors if no one is at home to
let them in the adults mosquitoes that they may be resting indoors may be
spared.
In the spray mix of Malathion and diesel seems to have
temporary effect on the mosquitoes for about two or three hours but after that
they again regain consciousness. Further the fogging is taken on the sounds of
the city in morning after sun rising late two hours speedily and most of the
drains lying in the congested localities are left untouched. As a result the
citizens have to continually face the attack of diseases like Malaria, dengue
and chikungunya.
It is found fogging only kills the adult mosquitoes the
young ones the larva are protected from the insecticide laden fog, only waiting
for a few more days to emerge into adult mosquitoes. The new breed of
mosquitoes after fogging on larva after short period it take new breed of
mosquitoes it becomes so dangerous that fogging on mosquitoes used to kill them
but this fogging for Malaria brought new breed of mosquitoes called Dengue and
Dengue mosquitoes brought new breed of Chikungunya and now the adult mosquitoes
of the chikungunya after breathing fogging of biological poison it will bring
new breed of mosquitoes. May be the disease of this mosquitoes will be more
fatal and dangerous it not curable easily than dengue and chikungunya.
Continuously using the chemical Malathion for fogging
purpose to check the growth of mosquitoes in city but there is not any benefit of old chemical
Malathion which has been used in fogging. Thus the precious public money is
being literally going down the draining without any benefit of the denizens.
Fogging is not just spraying smoke in a vicinity. There are
techniques involved. Beside the concentration of the patricidal the nozzle
width, the speed of the fogmen, the swing techniques, the wind direction etc.
are all important in killing mosquitoes. The nozzles of the fog machine may be
dogged with dust. As a result the fogs are merely white thick smoke creating a
few cough in the neighborhood leaving the mosquitoes unharmed.
Public say that even the fogging being done in some of the
selected portions of the city using Malathion but it does not have any
permanent effect to control the menace of mosquitoes.
Ludhiana Nagar Nigam health department’s officers have no
care of fogging result what is the benefit of it or not even they have not got check up the fogging
kill mosquitoes or not. They do not know how much time fogging will take to
spray smoke at same spot to kill mosquitoes. Ludhiana Nagar Nigam health
department only fulfill the formality to spray fogging in city.
If there is not proper system of fogging and it is not good
result to kill mosquitoes it is better to stop fogging. Otherwise ineffective
fogging smoke will change mosquitoes larva chikunguniya into some other new fatal
mosquitoes breed that may be more harmful dangerous than dengue malaria or
chikunguniya .
