How to control mosquito breeding ?
Communities and individuals can reduce mosquito breeding by: using sand to fill in pools, ponds, borrow-pits, etc.; removing discarded containers that might collect water; covering cisterns (water tanks) with mosquito nets or lids; clearing away vegetation and other matter from the banks of stream so that water flows speedily; repairing leaks, preventing spillage of water, improving drainage.
