DENPASAR, BALI EXPRESS – Padangsambian Village has begun to anticipate the outbreak of cases of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) in Denpasar City. The step taken by the Padangsambian Village is to carry out the Mosquito Nest Eradication (PSN) movement which was carried out simultaneously on Friday (13/5) targeting residents’ houses and several vacant land areas.
The village head of Padangsambian, I Ketut Alit Artika, together with the village officials visited residents’ houses and several vacant land areas in the Padangsari area, which were suspected to be breeding grounds for the dengue mosquito.
Alit Artika explained that the PSN movement was a quick step taken by the Padangsambian Village to prevent dengue from spreading in the area. “At the same time, we educate residents that the breeding of dengue mosquitoes can be prevented with simple steps by implementing the 3M plus movement in the household and surrounding areas,” he said.
3M is meant to drain, clean places that are often used as water reservoirs such as bathtubs, water buckets, drinking water reservoirs, refrigerator water reservoirs and others. Then tightly close water reservoirs such as drums, jugs, water towers, and so on, and the third is to reuse or recycle used goods that have the potential to become breeding grounds for dengue-transmitting mosquitoes.
According to him, this simple step is quite easy for residents to do, so his party continues to encourage residents not to get bored doing this movement. “As for the pluses, it is a form of additional prevention efforts, among others, in the form of keeping fish that eat mosquito larvae, mutual cooperation in cleaning the environment, planting mosquito repellent plants and so on,” said Alit Artika.
For this PSN activity, he continued, the Kelurahan staff will continue to carry out similar and routine programs in the future. So that DHF cases are expected to be minimized.
