Ws Kapenrem 084/BJ Major Inf Agung Prasetyo Budi said the fogging was carried out aimed at eradicating mosquitoes and Aedes aegypti (DHF) mosquito larvae in the Makorem 084/BJ environment.
“Therefore, it is necessary to spray, especially the Surabaya area has entered the rainy season, so that soldiers and civil servants are worried about contracting dengue fever,” he said.
Meanwhile, in the same place Sergeant Fachriansyah, a member of Denkesyah 05.04.04 Surabaya, said that apart from fogging, we must also maintain the cleanliness of each other’s environment, and inculcate a healthy and clean lifestyle.
“This is of course to prevent the development of mosquitoes that carry diseases to humans. Because prevention is better than cure,” he said.
He continued, fogging is actually less effective if it is not followed up with the 3M movement (draining the bath, hoarding used goods and closing water reservoirs) because prevention is more effective than treating or eradicating.
“Let’s re -encourage the 3 M Movement around us. If something is easy, why don’t we do it, “he said. (Moh sokip)
