Well, at the beginning and end of the rainy season, experts assess that mosquitoes are indeed more active and reproduce more during that period, including causing dengue and chikungunya.
This is because, at the beginning of the rainy season, the intensity of rainfall is generally not too large, so that it is enough to wet the surface of objects on the ground and create puddles on various objects.
Puddles that are not cleaned immediately and are in a dirty state are very likely to become nests, places for laying eggs and breeding for mosquitoes, especially this type of Aedes Aegypti, which is becoming more and more popping up.

1. Drain the water reservoir
As is known, larvae or baby mosquitoes breed in stagnant water.
So, various containers or water reservoirs that are not used, or even abandoned, and filled with garbage are very risky to become breeding grounds for mosquitoes.
When the larvae have grown up, it is very possible for them to spread the bacteria.
So, the public is asked to regularly clean the container or wall of the water reservoir, because that is where mosquito eggs can stick.
