MILT Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 In the area of Chiangmai where I live, has seen an increased in dengue cases. Hence eradication is taking place weekly. My question is what is being used in the fogger application and what is being used in spray. I (did) have a organic vegetable garden and flower garden...If anyone has knowledge would be appreciative. By the way, no warning. I was not at home when they showed up. My wife innocently allowed them to spray our garden..... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MILT Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 True the fogger is a joke...I am vigilant on standing water! My main concern is they are spraying (not the fogger) something else, like a chemical solution that stings the eyes and creates immediate running nose's. They tried using this spray last year and I shut them down so they sprayed the perimeter on the street of our place and we still had a reaction. Was curious to know what is the chemical that's being used. I may have to scrub the whole garden which would be a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill97 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) Ask your Puu Yai Baan or at your Aw Baa Taa. What they spray at my place is not necessarily what they use at yours. Edited August 31, 2020 by Bill97 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MILT Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 Thanks! Have done the suggestions and waiting on word back... In the meantime some researching as led me to the following information.... There are 3 possible pesticides that are predominately used in Mosquito eradication. Malathion Pyrethroids Nader (used mostly in the US) Malathion seemingly the worst. WHO has stated that Malathion probably causes cancer, based on Lab mice results... It depends a great deal on if the mixing guidelines are being followed. Once I know, I can research further... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post dunrudin Posted August 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2020 Once I retired and left CM to come back home to Far North Queensland, I also returned to the perennial mosquito/dengue problem. James Cook University have now virtually eliminated dengue by infecting mosquitoes with Wolbachia bacteria and releasing them to breed with the wider population. I've always wondered why the Chiang Mai authorities didn't liase with JCU and solve this perennial problem once and for all. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaibeachlovers Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 When I lived in Singapore they fogged all the time and it didn't cause human problems. In Chiang Mai they fogged once a year which is a nonsense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcous Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I'm not sure but it smells very much like 'Baygon' Composition. Baygon products contain the pyrethroids cyfluthrin, transfluthrin, prallethrin and the carbamate propoxur and organophosphorus chlorpyrifos, as active ingredients.

wwest5829 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Fond memories of childhood in Southern New Jersey, USA riding our bikes following the mosquito fogging trucks. Think they used DDT in the 1950s. It is a wonder we don’t all have cancer ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
