Overview
Mosquitoes are a major public health concern in Malaysia, breeding in stagnant water and transmitting serious diseases.
Common species:
-
Aedes aegypti (primary dengue vector)
-
Aedes albopictus (outdoor secondary dengue vector)
-
Culex quinquefasciatus (night-biting, nuisance)
-
Anopheles spp. (malaria vector)
Biology
-
Egg → Larva → Pupa → Adult
-
Completes in as fast as 7–10 days
-
Requires water for breeding
Behaviour
-
Aedes sp.: Active during daytime (morning & late evening), breeds in manmade containers
-
Culex sp: Active at night, breeds in brackish water such as sewage, catch basins, septic tanks, and polluted water
-
Anopheles sp.: Active at night, prefers clean water
-
Strongly attracted to human body heat & CO₂

Target both larvae and adult mosquitoes
Recommended Solutions
-
Larvicide for water bodies & drains
-
Residual spray for resting surfaces

-
Only fogging without larval control
-
Ignoring small water sources
-
Inconsistent treatment
