Water is important to Aedes mosquito because it is where they reproduce. If there is no clean, nonflowing water available, no egg will develop into adult mosquitoes. The possible places in home where Aedes mosquito can breed include: containers with water placed under the table’s legs, flower vases, old tires left outside which can collect rainwater, roof gutters which can retain rainwater, containers placed under flower pots that collect excess water, tin cans, bottles, and plastic cups left outside which can collect rainwater, uncovered water containers like drums and pails, tree holes, bamboo posts of fences around the house. Breeding places in the school can be flower vases, containers placed under flower pots, plastic cups or bottles left in the grounds which collect rainwater, and also tree holes and bamboo posts.
In the surroundings, it can be animal food containers, clean stagnant waters in canals, potholes, and any container or items that can collect and retain water.
