The trap is designed by NEA and serves as a trap to attract female Aedes adult mosquitoes to lay eggs. The trap will capture the mosquito and prevent the offsprings of the female mosquito from leaving the trap. It also traps other types of mosquitoes as well.

While NEA is putting in the effort to fight against mosquitoes, residents abused the container as used it as an ashtray.
Please support the continuous effort of keeping Singapore safe for the prevention of Dengue, Zika and other diseases. Not to mention the irritating itch!
