Trinidad is under siege from mosquitoes which seem to be immune to the coils, bug mats and sprays. The entire country desperately needs to be sprayed either aerially or by vehicle, area by area, street by street, before we have a massive outbreak of mosquito-borne illnesses on our hands. Here in Petit Valley, Morne Coco Road, Majuba Cross Road we are besieged by the pests and are asking that some form of spraying be carried out. There are numerous schools, churches and senior citizens homes in the area. We keep our properties free of any standing water but there are rivers that run through the neighbourhood bordering properties. There are some areas of stagnant water. We urgently need some spraying to be done along the river.
