Call NEA to complain. They will go round to check for breeding source, and eliminate it when found. Make sure you're not the culprit though (plant pots containing water that breed mosq...), as culprit might be apprended.

the no. to call is 1800-call nea i think.

BlurBee,

This advice was given to me by a skin specialist ...

Some pple like to change and hang the clothes behind the door of our bedroom, to wear later again. So he advised me not to hang clothes in my DS room. Apparantly, mosquitoes/insects like to hover ard such areas.

I brought DS to see him after some unexplained bite marks (looked like mosquitoe bites, yet doc couldn't confirm). I thought it was rashes so when to see a specialist and this is what he advised me
