Mosquito Control Fogging in Singapore
Eliminate Mosquitos with Mosquito Fogging in Singapore
In Singapore, the common three types of mosquitoes are Aedes, Anopheles & Culex. They transmit diseases like Dengue, Malaria, Yellow fever and Japanese encephalitis. These diseases are deadly and can affect all age groups from infancy to the elders. Since mosquitoes tend to multiply fast, especially after their breeding season, it is crucial to take mosquito control measures such as regular mosquito fogging in Singapore.
Mosquito fogging is a proactive and effective method employed to control and reduce mosquito populations in outdoor areas. This process involves the dispersion of a fine mist or fog containing specialised mosquito-killing agents, typically through a fogging machine. As the fog settles, it targets adult mosquitoes in flight, as well as mosquito larvae in breeding sites. Mosquito fogging is particularly valuable in regions prone to mosquito-borne diseases or for outdoor events and gatherings, as it swiftly diminishes mosquito activity, providing relief from bites and helping to mitigate the risk of disease transmission. It is an essential component of mosquito control programmes, contributing to the creation of safer and more comfortable outdoor environments.
Signs of a Mosquito Infestation in Your Home
Identifying a mosquito infestation early on is crucial for effective pest control. Here are some signs to help you determine if your home has become a breeding ground for mosquitoes:
• Increased Mosquito Bites
• Lingering Mosquitoes Indoors
• Presence of Mosquito Larvae
• Distinctive Mosquito Sounds
• Visible Adult Mosquitoes
• Mosquitoes Swarming Around Lights
Diseases Carried By Mosquitoes
Dengue Fever
Dengue fever is a viral infection transmitted primarily by the Aedes mosquitoes, particularly Aedes aegypti. Symptoms range from mild fever and body aches to severe complications like hemorrhagic fever and organ failure.
Malaria
While malaria is more commonly associated with other regions, there have been sporadic cases in Singapore. The Anopheles mosquito species transmits the Plasmodium parasite, causing symptoms such as fever, chills, and fatigue.
Zika Virus
The Zika virus, transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, can cause mild symptoms like fever, rash, and joint pain. However, it poses a significant threat to pregnant women, as it can lead to severe birth defects.
Chikungunya
Chikungunya is a viral infection transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, causing symptoms such as severe joint pain, fever, and rash. While not usually fatal, it can lead to long-term joint pain.
Preventing Mosquito Infestations
Eliminate Standing Water
Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water, so it's crucial to regularly check and eliminate them by emptying flower pot saucers, cleaning clogged gutters and drains, and overturning your pails.
Secure Screens and Doors
Ensure that your windows and doors are equipped with fine-mesh screens to prevent mosquitoes from entering your home.
Use Mosquito Nets
For an added layer of protection, consider using mosquito nets, especially during bedtime.
Choose Appropriate Clothing
Wear long sleeves and pants, especially during the peak mosquito activity hours at dawn and dusk. Light-coloured clothing can also help deter mosquitoes as they are less attracted to lighter shades.
Invest in Mosquito Repellents
Use mosquito repellent creams, lotions, or sprays on exposed skin to ward off these insects. You may also consider natural mosquito-repelling plants like citronella, lavender, and marigold.
Maintain a Clean Yard
If you live on landed property, trim overgrown vegetation and regularly mow your lawn to reduce potential mosquito resting areas. Remove any debris or clutter that could collect water and attract mosquitoes.

Types of Mosquito Control Services We Offer
THERMAL FOGGING
We are carriers of both water-based and oil based fogging, and the particles are fogged in the spots that mosquitoes are most likely to come from, like shady bushes, freshly watered grass, and places where stagnant water is most likely to collect. These are also where they are likely to breed, and thus would be the ideal place to start fogging. Targeting them at the source is most important so that we have the upper hand against the swarm.
LARVICIDING
A larvicide is a type of insecticide used to control mosquitoes indoors and outdoors around your home. They work by killing mosquito larvae before they can grow into adults. Should you require granulated application or using of insecticides to rid of these larvae, we have them all.
WATER BASED MISTING
Misting, like fogging, is highly effective. However, it lasts longer and targets the eggs of the mosquitoes better because of what is used. The misting solution is water-based and sprayed in the spots where mosquitoes will most likely reside, like shady bushes, in the damp grass, or anywhere on your property where stagnant water can collect. This neutralizes the threat and targets the entirety of the mosquito population in your yard, regardless of where they are in their life cycle. This is the only way to ensure that they will not come back stronger.
MOSQUITO TRAPS
Commercially available traps often incorporate specific olfactory, visual and thermal cues to attract female mosquitoes looking for blood meals. These attractants are usually used in combination has a high efficacy as there are insect growth regulators in the chemical itself, should it breed elsewhere after a visit to these traps, it will provide a domino knockdown effect.

Enhancing Mosquito Control in Singapore with In2Care Mosquito Traps
The Station explained
Improve mosquito control in Singapore with In2Care®. The In2Care® Mosquito Station is made of durable recycled polypropylene (PP) components, and consists of a lid, central tube, click-on interface and reservoir. A floater moves along the central tube with the water level and serves as the landing/resting site for mosquitoes. Female mosquitoes are attracted to the Station by adding a tablet with attractive odours to the water. When a female enters the Station she lands on the floater covered with a gauze strip that binds a mix of biological agents with specific modes of action. All biological agents are in use for pest control and are US-EPA approved.
An effective mosquito control strategy
The patented In2Care® Mosquito Station provides an attractive breeding site for egg-laying Aedes mosquitoes. When a mosquito enters the station she lands near the water on the floater gauze that binds two actives. The first is a growth regulator that kills the mosquito larvae in the Station and in surrounding breeding sites. The second active is a biological fungus that weakens the mosquito, prevents virus development, and kills the mosquito before she can transmit diseases.
