Fighting dengue: smoke alert

-

In order to control the action of mosquitoes, especially Aedes aegypti, which transmits dengue fever, the City of Blumenau, through the Health Promotion Secretariat (Semus), uses different strategies, including fumigation.

Next locations to be sprayed:
April 2nd

Neighborhood: Velha
Streets: General Osório, Caçadores and transversal. Near the Padaria Caçadores company.

It is worth mentioning that fumigation does not pose any danger to health, because it is used responsibly and at pre-determined time intervals.

The action consists of emitting a “cloud” of smoke, through a vehicle, with low doses of Cielo-ULV, which eliminates the majority of adult mosquitoes. This is a very quick, easy and effective technique, in addition to being widely used during periods of epidemics to eliminate mosquitoes and prevent the transmission of diseases such as dengue, zika or chikungunya.
