" MOSQUITO-ARRESTOR "- APPROVED MODEL OF INSTITUTE PUBLIC HEALTH POONAMALE CHENNAI.TAMILNADU

DEAR FRIENDS ,

GOOD WISHES FOR ALL THE VIEWERS

MOSQUITO ARRESTOR , IS, A CHEAP , SIMPLE GALVANISED OR COPPER WIRE MESH , FITTED PERMANENTLY IN TO THE 'COWL OF THE VENT TUBE PROVIDED TO THE SEPTIC TANK LATRINES ' WITH A CONDITION THAT THE SEPTIC TANK COVER , CEMENT SLABS ARE ALSO MADE AIR TIGHT OR MADE WITH SIMILAR , COPPER COVERINGS OR ANY NON CORROSIVE MATERIALS, TO COVER THE TOTALLY THE SEPTIC TANK TOPN JUST BENEATH THE CEMENT SLAB, ( IF THIS ARRANGEMENT IS COSTILIER , 'PL TRY ONLY WITH AIR TIGHT CEMENT SLABS.

MODUS OPERANDI:

MOSQUITO FEMALE LAY EGGS ON THE LATRINE BASINWATER CLOSET 'U' WATER SEAL

WHEN WE USE BY FLUSHING WATER , THE EGGS ARE PUSHED IN TO THE SEPTIC TANK WHERE IT GROWS TO ADULT STAGE WITHIN A WEEKS TIME AND COME OUT FREELY THROUGH THE OUT LET, THE VENT PIPE IF THE VENT PIPE DOES NOT FITTED WITH

THE ABOVE MENTIONED MOSQUITO ARRESTOR FITTED TO THE ' COWL'

THIS HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC HEALTH, POONAMALLEE, CHENNAI TAMILNADU DURING 1979, WHEN THIS WAS INTRODUCED IN NAGAPATNAM MUNICIPALITY.

SUCCESSFUL RESULT WERE WELL APPRECIATED BY THE PEOPLE OF THE TOWN , FOLLOWED BY THE INSTITUTE OFPUBLIC HEALTH 'S APPRECIATION AND APPROVAL

'RCAP' LATRINES ARE ANOTHER MODEL ALREADY IN EXISTENCE APPROVED BY GOVT AND TOWN PLANNING DEPARTMENT

RCAP MEANS - 'RESEARCH CUM ACTION PROJECT' WHERE , THERE IS NO 'VENT ' PIPE WITH COWL,INSTEAD, THE SEPTIC TANK IS MADE 'LEECH TYPE' CUM AIR TIGHT CEMENT COVER SLAB

POOR MAINTAINANCE OF THE SEPTIC TANK CEMENT COVER SLAB/BROKEN SLABS, MAY ALLOW THE OUT LET ADULT MOSQUITO THROUGH THE BROKEN HOLES IN THE CEMENT SLAB COVERS

IN ' RCAP' TYPE ALSO, WE RECOMMENDS FOR THE PROVISION OF GALVANISED OR COPPER WIRE MESH OR ANY MATERIAL THAT PREVENT THE EXIT OF ADULT MOSQUTIO FROM THE SEPTIC TANK IN ANY WAY.

THIS COULD BE DONE ONLY BY THE HOUSE OWNERS/HOUSE KEEPERS/ WHOEVER , IF NOT , NOT DONE,THE LOCALBODY , MAY DO THE JOB AND COLLECT THE EXPEDITURE INCURRED FOR THE RECTIFICATION OR PROVISION OF MOSQUITO ARRESTORS IN

ANY FORM FROM THE PUBLIC AS PER THE PUBLIC HEALTH ACTS

GENERALLY, WE WANT TO EDUCATE PEOPLE AND DO IT IN PUBLIC INTEREST.

THE ABOVE MESSAGE IS FOR THE " GIANTS MOSQUITOS WHICH ARE PAINFUL IN BITING /FEEDING BLODD FROM HUMAN BEING/ SAID TO BE NOT CAUSING ANY DISEASEWS ( ONLY DISTURBING SLEEP BY CAUSING PAIN, WHICH WILL BE MORE INTENSE IF BITES MAN AFTER BITING ANIMALS, DUE TO ALLERGIG REACTIONS.

NOW , FOR THE DISEASE CAUSING MOSQUITOS , OUR MAIN CONCERN IS FOR THE PROVISION SUCH MOSQUITO ARRESTORS FOR THE 'OHT' OVER HEAD WATERTANKS

ALL KINDS OF PHYSICAL METHODS TO PREVENT WATER LOGGING/ COLLECTION, IS THE ONLY WAY

MERSSAGE WILL CONTINUE
