A foreign workers' dorm roomSINGAPORE: A foreign worker dormitory in Sungei Kadut, which houses about 400 foreign workers, conducts checks regularly for mosquitoes.
The area saw 9 people came down with malaria in Sungei Kadut and Mandai recently.
The dorm also checks the drains for larvae, and fogging is conducted regularly.
Pest busters said fogging may not be the most effective way of getting rid of mosquitoes although it is the cheapest way to do so.
Fogging can also destroy other flying insects like dragonflies, which can prevent the spread of mosquitoes. - CNA /ls
