Did you know that 2015 could be the warmest year in modern history? Well, a few months of the year hit record temperature, and with summer coming, should be no different. By the same token, it is important to be aware that with the arrival of this season, increases the risk of transmitting diseases such as dengue, chikungunya and zika, viruses that have the Aedes aegypti mosquito as a vector.

The insect adapts and likes to clean, still water, and the heat causes the mosquito life cycle to accelerate. Hence the importance of washing with brush or steel wool, objects where there may be outbreaks.

In an interview with BBC Brazil, Sebastiao Amaral Campos, Secretary of Health agent Piracicaba, says that there are some breeding sites often unknown or ignored, and become an even greater risk during the holiday period. Check out five locations that deserve special attention in the fight against mosquitoes:

1) Child pool

Beach houses, which are only used during the weekends, have a great risk of mosquito breeding sites, because the water would stop for exactly one week.

When you close the property, the owners have to take care to empty all containers with clean, still water and not let the open objects with surfaces that can accumulate rain.

Sebastian draws particular attention to the child's inflatable swimming pools. It is necessary to empty and save, not to add water between the plastic folds. "If you want to leave full, it is very important to put chlorine. Only then the larva of the mosquito does not survive," says Campos.

Toys abandoned in the garden are another risk factor. "The little bucket of sand and the little pot of dog must be emptied, brushed and stored in the garage."

2) Toilet

Pour bleach on the porch of drains and the toilet seat cover are very important actions. Seats in the house that are not very frequented and may end up forgotten, like a bathroom of service or a balcony funds, deserve careful attention.

In these areas, Fields recommends using too much chlorine. "Sometimes people do not think that the mosquito can use the bathroom inside the house, but rather it comes from, it is a domestic animal. You must plug the toilet to not let in."

3) bottle of Squeak

Bottle cap, plastic straws, aluminum can. These are some unusual places have been found eggs of Aedes aegypti. The health worker also points out that the recycled waste stored at home can be a potential risk.

"The mosquito likes to clean water and the so-called 'dry waste', which can accumulate in the open until the day of selective collection and also turn insect reproduction of focus. You must save at home. You can not leave anything found in the street "he explains.

4) Bromeliads

The plant broadleaf and deep cup can hold water in their recesses, creating an ideal breeding ground. In many gardens, flower is attached to the walls of coconut fiber boards.

The vertical visual sensation passes the false idea that there is accumulated water there, because in theory, it escorreria. "This is a problem especially in more affluent neighborhoods," says Campos.

5) Cone snail

At a snail empty cone may seem small, but it keeps the potential for a colony of eggs of Aedes aegypti. Clear persistently the most isolated corners of the garden is a measure of success of mosquito control.

"We have found mosquitoes in cone snail, egg, every little teeny ... Give at all. If you slip up, the mosquito abuses," said Campos.

The last Campos message is important for all consumers, "Stop and think:. This is the animal that kills the world today It is impossible not to get serious We must end it.". Stay tuned and take care of your health and your family!
