A big part of the problem is pools of stagnant water. Perhaps educating people to look out for these pools will help eliminate mosquito breeding grounds. Check for old tyres (U.S. tires), containers etc. that get left outside.
one of the basic causes of malaria is from the breeding of mosquitoes in still water captured either in the earth under shady areas or on such places where garbage is gathered. therfore one of the ways my community can help is by either collecting garbage in pits where it can be covered by earth later or by disposing rubbish in the appropriate place far from where children live. another is to cover areas with soil or sand/gravel(which allows water to be soaked up) where you see water can be collected and can be a good breeding ground for mosquitoes.
Malaria could be seriously hindered and the mosquitoes that spread it if environmentalists with their blind agenda had not stopped the mass production and usage of DDT. Malaria is one of the most preventable fatal disease that mankind could control if it wasn’t for fear from a fringe lobbing group more concerned about ambiguous and speculative environmental effects of DDT, than human health.
Furthermore, to be blunt, because it is people in Africa and Asia that are dying at massive rates instead of Westerners, this near worldwide denial of DDT use has continued at the expense of other’s lives.
