I'm going to Haiti in a couple of days and am interested in feedback on control of mosquitos.
This is a serious problem with the rainy season - some of the camps are in flood plains, there is lots of standing water, garbage, etc, intense breeding grounds for mosquitos. More so than usual because of the human element and chaotic environment. What I would do is direct the water to a man made pond or ponds that is stocked with mosquito fish (or other predator) and some sort of ecosystem balance of plants (whatever is possible with the existing resources). And do an education campaign to eliminate careless standing water like buckets or tires lying around (which may be being done by rescue organizations already). Any other suggestions?
