Hello, does anyone have any tips for me? So I got back to Singapore and in 3 days and I got 35 mosquito bites, even after closing my windows and door and killing them with the electric bats. I thought it might be the construction site that’s breeding them so I asked NEA, but they said that they didnt find any habitats, and didn’t respond when I asked for more help to deal with the infestation. I bought the shopee killing lamp too. Emailed my MP but I got ignored, I don’t know what else I can do anymore… it has been a few weeks now and I’m so tired of scratching and killing them. Lost count of the number of bites. My family is so exhausted from it now. Please, any advice?

Apply mosquito repellent all the time.

Need to register new ID for this meh?
Which location is that? I was having this issue when just moved to new BTO but that was when there were lots of construction everywhere. Now i can even safely open windows at night time.

You can try installing mosquito mesh at your windows. Taobao cheap cheap.

Do you still leave any windows open? Mesh with insect net or close the windows. Give them no opportunity to come from outside

install net at window will reduce by 95% ...... some will sneak into the room before you enter and close door

problem is the net will catch dust and lint during daytime and clog up within 1 week , severely reducing airflow and make the room more hot , unable to take in cool night air



now got new type is enclose the bed .... but looks troublesome to climb in and out
also not durable as the buyers comment low quality

Bro, really super shag. Bukit batok, I have mosquito nets so havent had this problem in all the years i’ve lived here… but the mosquitoes that i’m catching are very small, somehow they can squeeze through the net.. that’s why I think there is a breeding ground

What? squeeze through the net? Are you very sure you are dealing with mosquitoes?
