With the aim of curbing mosquito-borne diseases, these municipalities are implementing a range of precautionary measures to ensure a mosquito-free environment for residents. Recognizing the potential health risks associated with mosquito-borne illnesses, the municipalities have undertaken comprehensive mosquito control initiatives. These include regular fogging operations, larvicide treatments, and extensive cleanliness drives across residential areas, public spaces, and water bodies.

Collaboration between municipal officials, health departments, and residents is key to the success of these initiatives. By working together, they aim to create a collective and sustainable approach to mosquito control, ensuring the well-being of the community.
