Negeri Pulau Pinang sekarang dah ada satu pendekatan yang baru dalam mengesan kes demam denggi yang berlaku di negeri itu. Mereka telah membeli satu perisian dari Pertubuhan Bangsa Bangsa Bersatu untuk mengesan kes kes demam denggi yang berlaku di situ.

Menurut Pengarah Kesihatan Negeri Pulau Pinang, dengan ada perisian itu, mereka akan dapat memantau samada potensi wabak sedang berputik di sesuatu kawasan. Software yang menggunakan teknologi yang dipanggil 'artificial intelligence epidemiology' dapat mengetahui wabak sedang bermula daripada laporan kes-kes demam denggi yang dilaporkan.

Dari maklumat yang diberikan melalui perisian tersebut, pihak bertanggung jawab akan segera bertindak bagi mengawal masalah itu dan membenterasnya agar tidak berlanjutan. Perkara itu diumumkan dalam satu upacara pengistiharan kawasan larangan merokok di Bukit Bendera baru-baru ini.

Kes demam denggi di Pulau Pinang stabil

Setakat ini, dalam tempoh 9 bulan, negeri P Pinang telah mencatatkan sebanyak 12 julah kematian akibat dari ke sdemam denggi. Tempoh yang sama tahun lalu mencatatkan sebanyak 13 kes kematian.

Secara keseluruhannya, kes demam denggi menyaksikan penurunan pada tahun ini berbanding tahun lepas. Namun menurut Ketua Menteri, jumlah kematian masih ditahap yang membimbangkan dan perlu segera di kawal dengan lebih berkesan.

Mereka akan menggunakan teknik yang digelar sebagai, "Crush Aedes Totally", atau dalam Bahasa melayunya, hapuskan nyamuk aedes secara total, bagi mengurangkan kejadian ke demam denggi di Pulau Pinang.

Ke arah negeri sihat

Dalam pada itu, program untuk menjadikan Bukit Bendera sebagai kawasan larangan merokok telah diistiharkan. Ia sebagai satu usaha pihak negeri untuk menjadikan Pulau Pinang sebagai sebuah negeri yang menggalakkan budaya sihat untuk para penduduknya.

Proses seterusnya adalah permohonan kepada Kementerian Kesihatan untuk melaksanakan kawasan larangan merokok itu dan apabila diluluskan, ianya akan digazetkan kepada umum sebagai kawasan larangan merokok.

Kawasan-kawasan yang telah digazetkan sebagai kawasan larangan merokok di Pulau Pinang sekarang ada lah:

Air Itam Dam
Taman Perbandaran
Taman Botani
Teluk Bahang Dam
Taman Bandar Ampang Jajar
Mengkuang Dam

Anda tentu pernah hadapi masalah serangan pepijat yang secara tiba-tiba ada di rumah. Sebelum ini memang tak pernah ada seekorpun pepijat kat rumah anda. Tapi tiba-tiba ia muncul sejak anda balik dari perjalanan ke luar kawasan dan menginap di sebuah hotel.

Ya!, pepijat yang sekarang muncul di rumah anda itu berkemungkinan datang dari hotel yang telah anda sewa sebelum ini. Itu adalah salah satu dari punca bagaimana pepijat boleh ada di rumah anda sekarang.

Sudah tentu ada lagi cara lain yang membawa pepijat datang ke rumah anda. Tapi kita cuba tumpukan kes pepijat yang datang dari hotel yang telah anda tinggal sebelum ini sahaja dalam artikel ini.

Pepijat menyusup masuk pakaian kotor

Ramai yang percaya pepijat termauk secara tak sengaja menyorok ke dalam beg yang anda letakkan di dalam bilik hotel. Memag betul!, itu satu cara pepijat menjadi tetapu tidak diundang yang anda kemudiannya bawa bersama dalam perjalanan balik ke rumah.

Tapi pepijat bukannya masuk secara tiba-tiba atau secara tak sengaja. Ada cara tertentu yang mempengaruhi pepijat merayap dan pergi melepak dan menyelit kat celah pakaian anda di dalam beg tersebut.

Faktor yang mendorong dengan kuat untuk memanggil pepijat menyusup masuk ke celah pakaian anda adalah apabila pakaian yang sudah anda pakai tersepuk di dalam bilik hotel yang memang sedia ada pepijat.

Abda bangun pagi tergesa-gesa di atas katil bilik hotel, buka pakaian tidur dan sepuk atas lantai atau atas katil, atau kat mana-mana saja yang berhampiran dengan tempat pepijat menyorok kat dalam bilik itu.

Bawa balik pepijat ke rumah

Pergi mandi dan kemudiannya bergegas bersiap dan terus keluar dari bilik hotel menuju ke tempat kerja anda. Masa itulah pepijat akan menyusup masuk di celah pakaian kotor anda itu. Bila balik, anda kemas pakaian kotor masuk dalam beg, simpan kat dalam tu tanpa menyedari di celahnya terselit beberapa ekor pepijat.

Kemudiannya anda bersedia nak check-out dari bilik hotel, kemas semua barang dan angkat beg balik ke rumah. Sampai kat rumah, beg diletakkan dalam bilik tidur rumah anda dan buka beg dan longgokkan pula pakaian kotor atas lantai sebelum di bawa basuh.

Masa itulah pepijat menyusup keluar pula dan mula menginap kat dalam bilik tidur di rumah anda pula. Dan bermulalah pembiakan demi pembiakan dan sedar-sedar, anda mula perasan badan mula rasa gatal setiap kali bangun dari tidur di rumah anda. Pepijat dah mula menjadikan hidup anda tidak keruan.

Pakaian kotor jadi tarikan pepijat

Apa yang saya terangkan di atas tadi adalah hasil daripada satu kajian yang dilakukan oleh para pengkaji. Kajian itu dilaporkan di dalam Majalah Scientific Reports di luar negara baru-baru ini.

Pengkaji buat ujikaji bandingkan pengaruh pakaian yang sudah di pakai dengan pakaian yang baru dan belum dipakai oleh manusia. Kedua-dua bungkusan pakaian itu diletakkan di tempat yang memang ada pepijat.

Bila dibiarkan beberapa lama, pepijat mula masuk ke dalam pakaian yang kotor dan sudah dipakai berbanding pakaian yang bersih dan belum dipakai oleh orang. Mereka lakukan ujain berkali-kali dan keputusannya adalah sama.

Pepijat rupa-rupanya ditarik oleh kesan samada bau atau lain-lainya, yang terlekat pada pakaian yang sudah dipakai oleh manusia. Itulah yang menarik perhatian pepijat sebab memang mereka jadikan darah manusia sebagai makanan.

Sumbat dalam beg pakaian yang terpakai

Jadi selepas ini, pastikan anda jangan campak dan taburkan pakaian merata tempat bila duduk kat dalam bilik hotel. Masukkan pakaian yang terpakai ke dalam beg kedap udara dan tutup dengan baik dan kemas.

Itu adalah cara yang selamat untuk pastikan kalau pepijat ada kat dalam bilik hotel tersebut, dia tak terjun masuk dan menyelinap di celah pakaian kotor anda untuk dibawa balik ke rumah.

The report, based on 40 indicators of climate and health, said climate change seemed to be making it easier for mosquitoes to spread dengue fever. — New and picture from The Malay Mail Online.

OSLO, Oct 31 — Climate change has caused severe harm to human health since the year 2000 by stoking more heat waves, the spread of some mosquito-borne diseases and under-nutrition as crops fail, scientists said today.

Scant action to slow global warming over the past 25 years has jeopardised “human life and livelihoods”, they wrote in a report published in The Lancet, a British medical journal.

“The human symptoms of climate change are unequivocal and potentially irreversible,” said the report, entitled Lancet Countdown and drawn up by 24 groups, including universities, the World Bank and the World Health Organisation (WHO).

Many governments are now trying to cut their greenhouse gas emissions under the 2015 Paris climate agreement, though US President Donald Trump has weakened the pact by saying the United States, the world’s second biggest greenhouse gas polluter after China, will pull out.

“This (report) is a huge wake-up call,” Christiana Figueres, chair of the Lancet Countdown’s high-level advisory board and the United Nations’ climate chief at the Paris summit, told Reuters.

“The impacts of climate change are here and now.” Among its findings, the report said an additional 125 million vulnerable people had been exposed to heat waves each year from 2000 to 2016, with the elderly especially at risk.

Labour productivity among farm workers fell by 5.3 per cent since the year 2000, mainly because sweltering conditions sapped the strength of workers in nations from India to Brazil.

The report, based on 40 indicators of climate and health, said climate change seemed to be making it easier for mosquitoes to spread dengue fever, which infects up to 100 million people a year.

The number of undernourished people in 30 countries across Africa and Asia rose to 422 million in 2016 from 398 million in 1990, it said.

“Undernutrition is identified as the largest health impact of climate change in the 21st century,” the report added.

‘Glimmers of hope’

But despite the overall gloom, Anthony Costello, a director at WHO and co-chair of the Lancet Countdown study, said there were “significant glimmers of hope” in the situation.

The number of weather-related disasters such as hurricanes and floods rose 46 per cent since 2000, but the number of deaths remained stable, suggesting that societies were improving protection measures against environmental catastrophes.

Almost 200 nations will meet in Bonn, Germany, from Nov. 6-17 to work on a “rule book” for the 2015 Paris climate agreement for shifting from fossil fuels.

The Lancet Countdown study did not estimate the total number of deaths from climate change. The WHO has previously estimated there could be 250,000 extra deaths a year between 2030 and 2050 because of climate change.

Nick Watts, executive director of the Lancet Countdown, said there could be a few benefits from warmer temperatures, such as fewer deaths from winter cold in nations from Russia to Canada. “But those numbers are ... almost negligible,” he said compared to the overall harm from global warming.

The Lancet study also said that the air in 87 per cent of all cities, home to billions of people, exceeded pollution guidelines set by the WHO.

Fossil fuels release both toxins and heat-trapping carbon dioxide when burnt.

Johan Rockstrom, director of the Stockholm Resilience Centre and who was not involved in the Lancet study, said the report could bolster efforts to limit pollution in cities from Beijing to Mexico City.

“Air pollution is in a way an old issue,” he said, referring to decades of efforts to limit smog. “But it’s potentially coming to the forefront again as the most rapid vehicle to get action on climate change.” — Reuters

The technology arm of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and Singapore-based Biosensorix are developing a device to help detect dengue fever and stroke. The joint development is a biosensor that can detect the composition of chemicals in the blood to diagnose diseases within minutes, eliminating the need to send blood and tissues samples to the lab.

The new kit is a “breakthrough” because it can quickly measure the level of a biomarker very cheaply
The technology are trying to decentralize medicine by allowing patients to test themselves at home and receive immediate test results at a very low cost to healthcare providers, eliminating the need for lab testing
The quick diagnosis enables medical staff to start treating patients without needing to wait for lab results
The kit is made up of two components: a USB stick-like blood-testing strip which the patients use by pricking their finger to collect blood samples, and a second device that looks like an iPhone, into which they insert the USB with the blood sample to analyze its chemical composition
With the new diagnostic kit, the physician can release the patient within half an hour, saving time and money
A second kit currently under development can provide information that would help prevent stroke and detect the possibility of a secondary stroke, which often occurs after the patient is released from the hospital
The device, which can be used at home, has two applications for stroke. It can help prevent the occurrence of stroke by monitoring the patient’s blood chemistry on a weekly basis and providing risk assessments quickly, within 15 minutes, compared with lab testing which can take days or weeks

News from TheStar Online.

KLANG schools are on alert for dengue cases after 230 students were down with the fever in the first two months of the year. The students, aged between 10 and 19, are believed to have contracted dengue from one main Aedes mosquito breeding ground – the toilets at school.

Klang Municipal Council (MPK) Health Department director Azmi Muji said Aedes mosquito larvae was found in toilet cisterns and places with stagnant water. “Cisterns with broken or missing lids with little water were found with Aedes larvae at certain schools.

We are worried the cases involving children and teenagers.

“Clearing up the vector breeding sites is the mainstay for dengue fever control. Our health officers gave out abate sachets to schools for effective elimination of vector breeding sites,” he said.

Azmi confirmed that there have been 1,047 dengue fever cases recorded from Jan 1 to Feb 28.

“Our health officers are visiting two schools a week and in a month at least 10 schools are checked,” he said.

He added that MPK was worried with the coming school holidays from March 17 to 25 as water will remain stagnant in the cisterns.

“Students and teachers will be on leave and toilets will not be flushed. Water in toilet bowls, cisterns and pails will become breeding spots for mosquitoes. “We will send out a circular to all headmasters to clean up their school compounds before school reopens on March 26,” he said.

Azmi also informed schools that do not have abate to substitute it with rough salt.

Klang MCA Public Complaints and Services bureau deputy chief Datuk Tan Bok Koon urged MPK to increase insecticide fumigation and send officers to inspect locations where mosquitoes might breed during the school holidays.

Last month MPK visited SM Klang Utama, SM Methodist ACS, SM Methodist Girls, SM Bandar Sultan Sulaiman and SM Telok Gadong, and briefed about 300 students on the dengue scourge.

“We want them to use repellents as a safeguard against dengue,” he said.

MPK corporate communications director Norfiza Mahfiz said the people’s initiative, known as the Community Free of Aedes, 10-Minutes (KOBA-10) where people were encouraged to spend 10 minutes a week to clean up their surroundings was much needed.

“KOBA-10 is a community-based approach to identify ways to reduce dengue cases in residential areas. It is crucial to have community support to stop the chain of dengue transmission,” she said, adding that fighting dengue could not be done by MPK alone.

“The World Health Organisation has endorsed the source reduction approach, which encompasses preventive methods, public education and community involvement,” she said.

She said concerted efforts could reduce the number of breeding grounds. Classic symptoms of dengue fever are high fever, headache, body ache (both muscle and bone), weakness, vomiting, sore throat, altered taste sensation and a centrifugal maculopapular rash.

Pest Control Services Market, by Application and By Service Type-Industry Insights, Trends, and Forecast

Pest control is the management and regulation of a variety of living organisms such as pests that are harmful to the human population. Pests such as cockroaches and termites hinder human activities such as agriculture, commercial, industrial, and residential processes.

Pest control services are carried out to eliminate pests and ensure hygiene and health. Pest control services include chemical control, mechanical control, and synthetic control among others.

Pests are known to contaminate the environment and spread diseases such as Hantavirus, Plague, Salmonella, and rat bite fever.

The most widely used techniques of pest control include poisoned baits, chemical repellents, and traps.

Growing urbanization and growing concern regarding health and hygiene among the populace are major factors driving growth the market for pest control. Besides the removal of vegetation, destruction of pastures and crops, and creation of nuisance in urban and rural residential areas, pests are also known to interfere with nature-based tourism, as it causes the destruction of natural resources.

However, several emerging economies such as India and China majorly rely on agricultural activities, thus rely on pest control services to get rid of pests that hinder agricultural activities.

Increasing tourism in several regions, and increasing number of economies relying primarily on tourism are expected to boost demand for pest control services, in turn boosting market growth.

However, the stringent government regulations related to limited use of toxic pesticides to reduce its impact on environment and health is one of the major factors hindering growth of the pest control services market.

Agak-agak, negeri manakah di negara kita Malaysia ini yang paling teruk di landa masalah serangan pepijat?

Anda tentu nak tahu bukan?

Anda tinggal di negeri mana?

Adakah anda hadapi masalah serangan pepijat di rumah anda sekarang?

Kalau tak ada pepijat di rumah lagi, bagus!. Pastikan rumah anda bebas dari masalah pepijat si penghisap darah itu. Pepijat mampu buatkan tidur malam anda menjadi ngeri. Pepijat juga boleh buat anda garu tangan dan badan tak berhenti.

Bila kerap garu itu, ertinya kemungkinan anda telah digigit pepijat ketika sedang tidur. Pepijat akan merayap keluar dari tempat sembunyiannya di celah tilam atau celah katil. Dia memburu darah sebagai makanannya.

Bagaimana pepijat ada di rumah anda

Penting untuk ketahui negeri mana yang paling teruk hadapi masalah serangan pepijat ini. Sebab pepijat boleh berpindah randah dari sebuah tempat ke tampat lain. Boleh berpindah dari satu negeri ke satu negeri lain.

Malah pepijat juga boleh berpindah dari satu negara ke satu negara yang lain.

Tapi bagaimana dia berpindah?

Pepijat akan menumpang pada baju atau beg pengembara yang duduk mengginap di tempat yang memang dah ada pepijat. Mungkin hotel. Mungkin rumahnnya sendiri. Mungkin juga panggung wayang dan mungkin juga bas atau kapal terbang.

Telur atau pepijat yang melekat pada beg atau pakaian di bawa balik ke rumah.

Dari situlah dia mula membiak secara diam-diam tanpa anda sedari. Bila dah ada banyak, barulah terasa badan gatal di sana sini akibat digigit pepijat penghisap darah.

Begitulah caranya pepijat tiba-tiba muncul di dalam rumah anda. Kalau bukan anda sendiri yang mengembara, mungkin jiran atau kawan yang singgah kat rumah. Mungkin anak-anak yang balik bercuti setelah tinggal lama di asrama sekolah.

Negeri paling teruk di serang pepijat

Menurut laporan dari MStar yang membuat satu dokumentasi si penghisap darah di waktu malam ini, Pepijat paling teryk menyerang negeri Selangor. Carta serangan pepijat paling teruk ada seperti di bawah:

Selangor
Perak
Kedah
Pulau Pinang
Johor
Terengganu

Sumber laporan di sini.

Senarai di atas merupakan negeri yang anda perlu berhati-hati ketika menyewa samada rumah atau hotel atau resort serta Chalet. Takut ada pepijat dan terbawa pulang balik ke rumah.

Masalah serangan pepijat paling ketara berlaku di asrama penginapan pekerja. Mungkin penginapan pekerja asing atau mungkin juga pekerja tempatan.

Keadaan pekerja yang tidak menetap setempat dan kerap berpindah itu memungkinkan mereka terbawa pepijat dari tempat lain.

"Jangan biarkan pepijat terus menghisap darah ketika anda tidur. Hapuskan pepijat 100% dari rumah anda dengan menggunakan Teknik Rawatan Wap Panas. Selamat dan berkesan. Hubungi Puan Siti 012-2067357 untuk maklumat lanjut."

Pepijat ada di mana-mana negara di seluruh dunia sekarang. Samada di Eropah, di Amerika, mahu pun di negara kita sendiri. Ramai yang mengadu rumah mereka diserang pepijat.

Pepijat tidak ada kaitan dengan keadaan sebuah rumah yang kotor. Walaupun rumah anda bersih dan tersusun rapi, tidak menghalang adanya serangan pepijat. Malah anda tentu terkejut jika saya katakan hotel 5 bintang juga boleh ada pepijat.

Keburukan rumah yang ada pepijat

Walaupun pepijat tidak membawa sebarang penyakit berjangkit kepada manusia setakat ni, tapi ia tetap menjadi salah satu serangga pengacau ketenteraman. Sebab utamanya adalah kerana pepijat jadikan darah manusia sebagai sumber makanan mereka.

Orang yang sedang digigit pepijat tidak akan dapat rasakan yang dia sedang digigit dan darahnya sedang dihisap oleh pepijat tersebut. Pepijat akan keluarkan bius untuk membuatkan anda tidak sedar sedang dihisap darah.

Selepas puas hisap darah, pepijat akan beredar semula ke tempat menyoroknya yang biasanya tidak berapa jauh dari mangsa berada. Secara purata, pepijat hang sudah kenyang hanya akan datang hisap darah semula seminggu kemudiannya sahaja.

Memang secara putara, pepijat dewasa hanya perlu hidap darah seminggu sekali sahaja.

Kesan dari gigitan pepijat akan membuatkan anda rasa gatal. Bagi orang yang tak tahan, kesan itu akan menjadi buruk dan dijangkiti bakteria. Akan jadi jangkitan kuman pada kulit dan ini memang tidak diingini oleh sesiapa saja.

"Dapatkan khidmat rawatan pepijat dengan menggunakan Haba dari Easelife Services Sdn Bhd. Rawatan Haba amat berkesan dan selamat berbanding penggunaan racun serangga. Hubungi Puan Siti di nombor 012-2067357 untuk maklumat lanjut"

Periksa kehadiran pepijat sebelum sewa rumah

Jika anda mahu sewa rumah, pastikan periksa terlebih dahulu samada rumah tersebut ada pepijat atau tidak. Lebih utama lagi jika rumah yang nak disewa itu dilengkapi dengan perabut.

Anda perlu buat pemeriksaan kehadiran pepijat pada tempat katil di bilik tidur utama dan keseluruhan bilik lain di dalam rumah tersebut. Perhatikan tanda-tanda kehadiran pepijat.

Kalau tak tahu macam mana nak periksa pepijat, anda boleh baca cara nak buat pemeriksaan kehadiran pepijat kat sini

Kalau ada tanda wujudnya pepijat, maka pastikan anda suruh pemilik rumah itu buat rawatan hapuskan pepijat dari rumahnya. Selagi pemilik tidak lakukan rawatan pepijat dari rumah tersebut, jangan sewa. Itu menjadi tanggung jawab pemilik untuk kali pertama sebelum anda masuk menyewa rumah itu.

Tapi jika dah masuk dan tinggal di rumah sewa itu, maka tanggung jawab menghapuskan pepijat dah jadi tanggung jawab anda.

Sebelum lihat 5 tanda anai-anai telah menjajah rumah anda, elok tengok dulu beberapa bencana yang bakal dibawa oleh anai-anai jika rumah anda telah dijajah olehnya.

Salah satu ketakutan yang dihadapi oleh penghuni atau pemilik rumah adalah anai-anai.

Walaupun saiznya yang kecil, anai-anai mampu boleh mendatangkan masalah besar sehingga boleh menyebabkan kerugian.

Apakah sebenarnya masalah yang dibawa oleh anai-anai?

Merosakkan bahan binaan rumah yang dibina daripada kayu - Kayu adalah 'makanan' anai-anai. Seperti haiwan lain yang memerlukan makanan, anai-anai makan serat selulosa daripada kayu. Itu sebabnya bahan binaan rumah kayu menjadi sasaran anai-anai sehingga habis dirosakkan.
Keretakan pada dinding dan siling rumah - Jika anda mengesyaki adanya tanda-tanda keretakan yang terjadi secara tiba-tiba, itu tandanya anai-anai sudah mula merayap di dalam rumah anda.
Pintu rumah atau bilik dah tak boleh ditutup dengan baik - Apabila anai-anai dah mula makan kayu pada pintu rumah, ia akan menyebabkan ketebalan pintu berubah. Anda akan mula perasan pintu dah tak boleh dibuka atau tak boleh ditutup.

Masalah anai-anai boleh membuatkan anda stres, lebih-lebih lagi apabila anda tidak tahu cara untuk menghapuskan anai-anai dengan berkesan.

Berikut adalah beberapa tanda anai-anai mungkin telah menjajah rumah anda.

Boleh dilihat ada kelkatu berhampiran tingkap, pintu, lubang dan lampu kerana kelkatu itu adalah anai-anai. Kelkatu tertarik kepada cahaya.
Ada gumpalan sayap berselerakan di tingkap, lekapan pemanasan, pintu, sinki dan tab mandi. Itu adalah sayap kelkatu anai-anai
Anai-anai suka buat laluan berlumpur dan tiub berlubang kira-kira selebrar straw minuman. Tiub ini memberi mereka perlindungan daripada pemangsa dan suhu yang melampau serta membantu mengekalkan suasana lembap yang disukai oleh anai-anai.
Ketuk kayu dengan pemutar skru. Sekiranya ada bunyi berongga atau 'hollow', itu maknanya anai-anai dah menjajah rumah anda.

Adakah anda sering terdengar bunyi berderap pada waktu malam?

Ia mungkin bunyi daripada tikus yang merayap di atas loteng rumah anda. .

Dah lah bising, tikus berlari-lari di loteng mengganggu tidur anda. Bukan itu sahaja, tikus boleh mendatangkan masalah lain; menggigit wayar elektrik dan telefon dan boleh menyebabkan kerosakan dan kerugian.

Tikus sebenarnya binatang yang duduk di hutan. Bila manusia musnahkan hutang untuk membuat perumahan, maka tikus terpaksa sesuaikan diri untuk hidup bersama manusia.

Kebetulan pula, makanan amat mewah di penempatan manusia. Itu membuatkan tikus kekal menjadikan penempatan manusia sebagai tempat tinggal mereka juga.

Berikut diberikan beberapa tips mudah bagaimana anda boleh halang tikus dari masuk ke dalam loteng rumah anda.

Halang tikus masuk ke dalam rumah - Tutup lubang, bukaan atau keretakan yang pada dinding rumah.
Nyahkan akses mudah masuk ke rumah - Pastikan ranting pokok yang tinggi dipotong untuk mengelakkan tikus naik ke loteng dengan memanjat pokok yang tinggi.
Halang akses tikus kepada makanan - Simpan makanan dalam bekas kedap udara supaya tikus tidak dapat menciumnya.
Urus pembuangan sampah - Pastikan tong sampah sentiasa ditutup rapat untuk mengelakkan tikus membawa sisa makanan naik ke atas loteng.
Minta bantuan pakar - Hubungi pakar kawalan tikus untuk memeriksa tempat kemasukan tikus dan mengesyorkan pelan pencegahan yang sesuai untuk rumah anda.

Perangkap nyamuk terbaik di dunia!

Betul ke perangkap nyamuk ni memang yang terbaik di dunia?

Ya! memang betul tanpa ragu lagi. Perangkap nyamuk jenama Mosclean buatan Korea ini memang yang terbaik di dunia setakat ini. Mosclean menggunakan Teknologi Violeds, iaitu lampu LED yang keluarkan cahaya UV bagi menarik nyamuk.

Kalau anda ada masalah banyak nyamuk kat dalam rumah tu, dah bosan asyik kena pasang ubat nyamuk berlengkar, atau pasang ubat nyauk eletrik yang bau saja yang harum tapi tak berapa nak berkesan, boleh cuba gunakan perangkap nyamuk ini pula.

Masalah banyak nyamuk dalam rumah

Masalah nyamuk ini bukan satu perkara baru kat negara kita Malaysia. Samada anda duduk kat bandar atau kat kampung, nyamuk pasti wujud.

Tambahan pulak kalau anda tinggal berdekatan dengan kawasan sungai. Atau berhampiran tempat tinggal ada takungan air, llongkang selalu tersumbat dan dipenuhi air. Bila masuk musim panas selepas selesai musim hujan, nyamuk mula menyerang masuk dalam rumah.

Kalau setakat nyamuk biasa masih ok lagi dari segi kesihatannya. Tapi kalau nyamuk aedes, memang tak boleh nak dibiarkan. Perlu buat sesuatu supaya seluruh nyamuk aedes dihapuskan.

Bunuh nyamuk pakai lingkaran ubat nyamuk

Amalan biasa terutamanya orang kampung adalah dengan memasang lingkaran ubat nyamuk. Kalau anda pakai jenama Fumakila, memang berkesan asapnya membuatkan nyamuk pening dan jatuh atas lantai.

Tapi masalah timbul bagi orang yang tak boleh hidu bau asap ubat nyamuk tu. Malah pakaian dan kain tingkap serta kain cadar juga akan melekat bau ubat nyamuk.

Bila ubat nyamuk habis terbakar, terutamanya diwaktu subuh, mula datang balik banyak nyamuk hinggap dikaki dan dipipi. Bila nak pasang satu lagi, ubat nyamuk dah habis pulak. Nak kena tunggu siang hari untuk beli satu kotak lagi.

Itu antara kelemahan ubat nyamuk.

Bunuh nyamuk pakai aerosol

Satu lagi amalan biasa yang orang kita buat adalah sembur aerosol ubat nyamuk. Aerosol agak sinonim dengan perkataan Ridset. Iklan jenama itu melekat dalam kepala sampai apa saja jenis semburan ubat nyamuk kita panggil Ridset.

Bau ubat nyamuk semburan aerosol ini memang wangi. Tak busuk macam asap lingkaran ubat nyamuk. Kalau kena betul-betul pada badan nyamuk, memang dia akan tumbang jatuh menggedik dan akhirnya mati.

Mana-mana nyamuk yang berjaya elakkan diri lari keluar jauh dari semburan aerosol akan selamat. Bila dah berhenti menyembur, nyamuk akan terbang datang semula. Mana larat nak asyik sembut tak berhenti. Dan tak ada orang buat kerja sembut habis satu balang tin tu.

Itu antara kelemahan bunuh nyamuk pakai aerosol pulak.

Pakai Mosclean perangkap nyamuk terbaik dunia

Jika anda nak cuba alternatif selain dari aerosol dan lingkaran ubat nyamuk, boleh cuba Mosclean perangkap nyamuk terbaik dunia ini.

Perangkap ini menggunakan lampu cahaya UV yang diperbuat dari LED untuk menarik nyamuk datang kepada perangkap tersebut. Ia 4 kali ganda jauh lebih baik dari menggunakan lampu mercury yang biasa digunakan.

Kalau dilihat kecekapannya menarik nyamuk pembawa demam denggi, lampu UV LED ini menarik 13 kali ganda lebih berkesan dari lampu mercury biasa. Dan UV LED juga menarik 9 kali ganda nyamuk penyebab malaria berkesan dari lampu mercury biasa.

Bila nyamuk datang dekat pada perangkap, ia akan ditarik masuk ke dalam perangkap melalui kipas kecil yang siap dipasang di dalam perangkap.

Apa yang anda perlu buat hanyalah beli satu perangkap, gantung kat dalam rumah. Pasang suis hanya bila malam. Waktu siang boleh tutup. Itu saja kerja yang anda perlu buat. Dan perangkap itu diberikan jaminan selama 1 tahun.

Kalau berdasarkan ujian yang telah dibuat, perangkap berserta UV LED tersebut boleh digunakan pakai selama 4 tahun tanpa masalah. Satu perangkap Mosclean boleh cover keluasan 2000 kaki persegi. Tapi kalau rumah anda ada banyak ruang berdinding, elok satu ruang satu perangkap.

Harganya juga amat berpatutan untuk tempoh terhad.

Sekarang hanya RM250 untuk satu unit perangkap nyamuk Mosclean yang original dengan jaminan setahun. Harga itu adalah harga tanpa penghantaran. Anda boleh datang ambil sendiri di pusat operasi Easelife Services Sdn Bhd yang beralamat di TTDI Jaya Shah Alam.

Untuk maklumat lanjut, anda boleh WhatsApp atau buat panggilan di nombor 012-2067357 atau 019-2260807

To-date, there are 121 dengue cases reported.

At the Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) fullboard meeting, its president Noraini Roslan said many dengue cases centred around high-rise residential buildings because of the joint management bodies’ (JMB) failure to keep the areas clean, paving the way for Aedes mosquitoes to breed.

However, she said there was a drop in dengue cases from the end of 2017 to early this year, before it increased in June.

Noraini said the Selangor Health Department inspected all 13 hotspots, while MPSJ was asked to inspect three locations and clean up open areas at the high-rise residences.

She added that there could be other reasons for the increase in dengue cases, one of it being the buildings’ design.

At One South Serdang Perdana, the non-accessible air wells between individual lots are choked with rubbish, resulting in stagnant water when it rains, leaving room for mosquitoes to breed.

MPSJ Health director Dr Roslan Mohamed Hussin said warnings were issued to the JMB to clean up their premises immediately.

He said a RM500 fine would be imposed for each breeding spot found on the premises.

"Dengue cases decreasing. Thanks to prevention strategies" - News from The Star online.

Last year 2017 - 49,726 dengue cases and 110 deaths during the first 6 month
This year 2018 - 32,435 dengue cases with 53 deaths

PETALING JAYA: Dengue prevention strategies implemented by the Health Ministry and its partners have been credited for the reduction in dengue cases and deaths by 35% and 52% for the first six months of this year.

Health Minister Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad said a total of 32,435 dengue cases with 53 deaths were reported from Jan 1 till June 30 this year, compared to 49,726 cases with 110 deaths during the same time period last year.

“These strategies implemented by the ministry and undertaken by our partners from other ministries, agencies and groups have shown positive impact as Malaysia recorded a downward trend in dengue cases and deaths for the past two consecutive years.

“In 2016 and 2017, annual dengue cases decreased by 16% and 17% respectively, while mortality reduced by 29% and 25% of total cases respectively,” said Dr Dzulkefly in his speech at the Asean Dengue Day 2018 event at Sekolah Rendah Agama Sungai Kayu Ara here yesterday.

He also lauded the various initiatives taken by Malaysia to combat the vector-borne disease such as forming the National Dengue Special Task Force in July 2014 and setting up of the Communication for Behavioural Impact (Combi) volunteer teams by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in 2001.

The ministry has also implemented other preventive and control measures, including using real-time web-based monitoring systems, namely eNotifikasi, eDengue, dengue epidemic management system (SPWD) and iDengue for community.

“These digital dengue surveillance systems help the relevant agencies to take prompt action and prevent dengue transmission,” said Dr Dzulkefly.

SINGAPORE - A research laboratory and a pest control company will use artificial intelligence (AI) to study data from rodent sensors to better manage rodent problems in shopping malls.

A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed on Tuesday (July 10)between Singapore Management University (SMU) and Pestech Holding, beginning a two-year collaboration between an SMU research laboratory - LiveLabs Urban Lifestyle Innovation Platform - and Pestech.

Under the MOU, Pestech will contribute its collected data of which shopping malls have rodent activity, and where the rodents are most active in the malls.

It has rodent sensors in more than 10 malls around Singapore. Pestech's infrared sensors are installed in the malls' ceilings above food and beverage tenants and shared common ceiling space between tenants to detect the rats' movements.

LiveLabs' artificial intelligence programming will analyse the data and provide more accurate details, such as identifying the different rodent species, the number of rodent clusters, and the unique behaviours of each species such as feeding and movement patterns.

"Instead of having to wait through the night to catch the rodents, they can use the algorithm and the data provided by our AI to predict the exact places and times that the rodents will likely be at," said a LiveLabs spokesman.

The data will provide hourly and daily trends of the rodents' locations and behavioural patterns, allowing LiveLabs to suggest the most appropriate pest control methods.

SINGAPORE, 10 July 2018 - Pestech Holding (S) Pte Ltd (‘Pestech’) and Singapore Management University (‘SMU’) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding today to apply artificial intelligence on rodent sensors data in order to establish rodent behavioural patterns and predict different territorial species within a shopping mall.

The two-year collaboration aims to create a safer and healthier living environment for all, and to support Singapore’s Smart Nation push.

The MOU was signed by Mr Tong Kien Seng, Founder of Pestech, and Associate Professor Rajesh Balan, Director of LiveLabs Urban Lifestyle Innovation Platform at the School of Information Systems in SMU, on the sidelines of Clean Environ Summit Singapore 2018.

Under the MOU, both parties will develop and test artificial intelligence and analytics system using large real-time rodent sensor datasets from Pestech.

The Parties will research using new methods, algorithms and technologies to discover fresh insights from these large sensor datasets.

Mr Tong Kien Seng, Founder of Pestech said, “This collaboration with SMU is part of our overall strategy of utilising advanced technology to enhance our solution offerings. We aim to make our proprietary RodentEye and Pestech the best rodent surveillance system and the leading expert company respectively in solving any given rodent issue in Asia.

The end system capabilities should provide Pestech the ability of knowing the in-depth information of each rodent problem in a mall / building more completely, including proper cluster distribution, different territorial species and activities pattern.”

Associate Professor Rajesh Balan, Director of LiveLabs Urban Lifestyle Innovation Platform said, “We are excited to take our experience in sensing and extracting actionable insights from human behaviour to help business outcomes into a brand new domain of rodent control! This partnership with Pestech presents an exciting opportunity to innovate in this space and achieve our goal of improving our environment and overall wellbeing.”

Pestech shall contribute its experience in the pest management business, as well as its expert knowledge and skills in the areas of IoT sensors, wireless data acquisition, web-based rodent activity Heatmap with sensor data analytics that serve the sector.

LiveLabs Urban Lifestyle Innovation Platform will contribute its capabilities and resources in location-based solutions and data analytics.

Bila bercakap tentang pepijat atau beg bugs, anda perlu mengetahui cara untuk melindungi diri anda dan keluarga daripada gigitan makhluk perosak ini.

Salah satu caranya ialah dengan pemilihan sarung tilam yang sesuai dan memenuhi kriteria di bawah:

1. Adakah sarung tilam tutup sepenuhnya?

Sarung tilam yang terbaik perlu meliputi seluruh tilam dari hujung ke hujung. Ini dapat mengelakkan pepijat daripada masuk ke atas katil.

2. Adakah sarung tilam ditutup dengan kemas?

Sarung tilam dapat membunuh pepijat yang sedia ada dengan mengurunginya dan menghalang ia keluar pada waktu anda sedang tidur. Beli sarung tilam yang berkualiti tinggi supaya anda terlindung dariapda gigitan pepijat.

3. Adakah sarung tilam bebas toksin?

Sesetengah sarung tilam mengandungi racun perosak untuk membunuh pepijat. Walau bagaimanapun, ia berbahaya kepada manusia. Kalau boleh, cari sarung tilam yang tidak mengandungi bahan-bahan kimia.

Pemilihan sarung tilam yang betul dapat melindungi keluarga anda daripada pepijat. Walaupun nampak remeh, tetapi ia adalah kaedah pencegahan yang terbaik untuk jangka masa panjang.

Berikut merupakan contoh tilam yang didiami oleh pepijat.

Pemilihan sarung tilam ini adalah penting kerana hampir 90 peratus pepijat yang terdapat di rumah akan membuat sarang di katil. Pepijat akan mudah mengigit ketika anda tidur sekiranya tiada sarung tilam yang dihamparkan pada katil.

Adakah tilam anda seperti itu? Jika ada, dapatkan nasihat profesional daripada Easelife Services dengan 2 langkah mudah ini:

Pepijat adalah makhluk parasit yang sukar untuk dihapuskan. Oleh itu, anda tidak perlu gusar kerana terdapat pelbagai kaedah yang dapat dilakukan untuk memastikan pepijat lenyap daripada mengganggu ahli keluarga anda.

Salah satu kaedah yang digunakan oleh Easelife Services adalah melalui rawatan haba. Dengan menggunakan kepanasan haba yang tertentu, pepijat boleh mati dengan serta merta.

Terdapat beberapa variasi rawatan haba yang anda boleh lakukan sendiri:

1. Kotak panas

Buat satu kotak dan isi pemanas pada tempat-tempat yang dijangkakan ada pepijat seperti kasut, cucian kering, selimut, beg pakaian atau bagasi. Pemanasan yang berterusan dengan suhu di antara 47 hingga 50 darjah Celcius dapat membunuh pepijat.

2. Stim

Rawatan haba dengan stim dapat membunuh larva, telur pepijat. Oleh kerana penyediaan agak leceh berbanding kaedah kotak panas, rawatan stim sesuai untuk kawasan yang luas seperti bingkai katil, selimut, cadar, langsir dan bantal.

3. Pengering pakaian

Pengering pakaian juga boleh memusnahkan pepijat. Haba daripada pengering pakaian dapat membunuh pepijat katil dengan kepanasan selama sekurang-kurangnya 20 minit.

4. Seterika

Seterika adalah kaedah rawatan haba yang sering digunakan di rumah. Wap stim seterika dapat menghapuskan pepijat sekiranya dikenakan dengan kepanasan yang sederna kuat dalam beberapa minit.

5. Rawatan Haba

Untuk Premis Perniagaan dan Kediaman Biasanya dilakukan oleh profesional yang berpengalaman untuk menghapuskan pepijat.

Mereka membawa peralatan khas yang direka khusus untuk kerja mengesan dan menghapuskan pepijat dengan teknik wap panas yang berkesan dan mesra alam.

Kaedah ini lebih berkesan kerana masalah pepijat adalah berbeza untuk setiap rumah dan premis perniagaan. Oleh itu, pakar sahaja tahu bagaimana cara yang terbaik untuk membasmi pepijat.

RESIDENTS have the most important role in the fight against dengue.

Selangor Environment, Green Technology and Consumer Affairs Committee chairman Hee Loy Sian said Malaysia have seen 38,241 dengue cases and 61 deaths so far this year.

Out of that, Selangor accounts for 21,648 (56.6%) cases and 17 deaths (27.9%).

Hulu Langat has the third highest number of cases at 3,477 and four deaths this year, a 62% drop compared to the same period last year.

The Kajang assemblyman was speaking at a gotong-royong event at Section 4 in Bandar Sungai Long which was part of a simultaneous launch of a nationwide campaign to eradicate dengue.

However, he said, people should not be complacent.

“We need to work harder to further reduce the number of dengue cases here,” he added.

The affluent neighbourhoods of Bandar Sungai Long Section 4 (SL4) and Section 6 (SL6) are two of 11 existing dengue hotspots in MPKj’s territory.

SL4 had 25 reported dengue cases, while SL6 had 15.

Hee suggested that Kajang residents establish a programme like the Sedar (Search and Destory Aedes Rangers) squads formed in the Petaling Jaya Utara constituency, where Hee was previously the MP.

These squads comprise residents who are trained by the local authorities on how to remove stagnant water in containers and clear up potential Aedes breeding sites in their neighbourhood.

“The council can provide support but it is the residents who have the most important role to play in the fight against dengue,” Hee said.

MPKj president Mohd Sayuthi Bakar said although the council and the district health office could maintain the cleanliness of public areas, the problem often occurred within the compounds of houses.

“This is why we have to invite residents to help us clean up their compounds and back lanes. “Dengue outbreaks can happen at any time if we don’t keep our environment clean and clear Aedes breeding sites.”

Sayuthi urged residents to make it a habit of checking their houses and compounds for at least 10 minutes a week.

BUKIT MERTAJAM: The number of dengue cases in Penang has increased between 10 and 20 per cent since May, the Health Ministry warned today.

Deputy Health Minister Dr Lee Boon Chye said Penang recorded a total of 2,528 dengue cases from January until July this year, an increase of 74.95 per cent compared to last year.

He said during the corresponding period in 2017, Penang recorded only 1,445 dengue cases.

Dr Lee said the spike in the number of dengue cases involved all five districts in the state, especially Seberang Prai on the mainland, as well as the northeast and southwest districts on the island.

“We have set up a special squad to ensure that cleaning-up efforts, investigation and control of cases, enforcement and health education can be carried out promptly.

“This squad will also identify problem areas so that prevention and control of dengue can be conducted effectively,” he said during the Gotong Royong Mega 1.0 programme in Taman Pauh Indah here today.

Present were state Health Committee chairman Dr Afif Bahardin and state Health Department director Datuk Dr Wan Mansor Hamzah.

Dr Lee said all agencies and members of society should play their part to keep dengue at bay. Dr Lee said the country recorded a total of 38,190 dengue cases from January until July this year, compared to 55,744 cases during the same period in 2017.

“That is a drop of 31.5 per cent or 17,554 cases.

“The number of total deaths due to dengue also dropped to 61 cases compared to 131 deaths during the same period last year,” he added.

Meanwhile, Dr Lee said as of Thursday (July 26), the number of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in Penang increased to 2,755 cases compared to 1,117 cases during the same period last year.

He added that a total of 109 premises have been closed until further notice, and another 23 premises will remain closed for the next 10 days.

"This includes primary schools, kindergartens, pre-schools and child care centres."
