To deal with the unpredictable development of dengue fever, Hanoi’s health sector has used fogging machines to kill mosquitoes in living quarters. The optimum droplet size for space spraying against mosquitoes is up to 50metre.
Since June, Hanoi Centre for Preventive Medicine has sprayed the insecticide against mosquitoes at more than 30 wards that have detected outbreaks of dengue fever.
