Twenty areas of the city of Manaus will get "smoke"

Manaus - Manaus City Hall announced yesterday, the list of areas of the city that will be receiving next week, the service space spraying (fogging) as part of the shares of 'Operation Impact to Fight Dengue. " The work will reach more than 20 areas - including neighborhoods, housing projects and communities - in the four areas of the city (see schedule below).

The goal is that by the end of February, the fogging has made a 100% coverage of the neighborhoods of Manaus, said the municipal secretary of Health, Francisco Deodato. To extend the work of spraying in the city, Semsa received from the Ministry of Health to strengthen six vehicles (motorized UVB) and shipping extra 3,000 liters of insecticide, which will be used as needed, and observing the technical standards of MS.

In areas of difficult access, the spraying is performed with the help of portable nebulizers costal conducted by agents of endemic diseases. The fogging aid in the elimination of the mosquito Aedes aegypti, the transmitter of dengue fever in adulthood. Therefore, Deodato is a warning for people to also step up prevention measures that prevent the proliferation of vectors.

"The spraying of insecticide is a complementary measure, used to fight mosquitoes in the winged stage, but it does not kill eggs and larva of Aedes aegypti. What guarantees the removal of eggs and larvae are those basic precautions, like avoiding accumulation of stagnant water and garbage, "said the secretary.

During the passage of the vehicle from fogging the streets, directs the Secretary, people should leave windows and doors open, to facilitate achievement of mosquitoes that are within the houses. "The only caution is to avoid being exposed directly to spray insecticide launched by the vehicle," said Deodato.
