According to experts, Dengue mosquitoes breed in fresh water that accumulates in various household and outdoor containers, such as flower vases, broken utensils, unused tires, and even refrigerator trays.
These areas provide an ideal breeding ground for the Aedes mosquito, which spreads Dengue fever.
To prevent breeding, it is crucial to cover water containers, and frequently clean and dry containers.
People are also advised to wear full-sleeved clothings and long dresses to cover the body as much as possible, and use mosquito repellents during the daytime, as Aedes mosquitoes primarily bite during the day.
