Pest Control Committee Reviews Mosquito And Rodent Work
The interdepartmental Pest Control Steering Committee met on March 23, 2026 to review mosquito and rodent control efforts led by the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department. FEHD extended intensified mosquito control coverage to areas with an AGI of 10–20 percent and will deploy robots, drones, and expanded gravidtrap surveillance; thermal-imaging AI and an Anti-rodent Charter (770+ signatories, covering ~720,000 households) support targeted rodent control.
Key Points
- 1Extends intensified mosquito control to areas with AGI 10–20% and expands gravidtrap survey coverage
- 2Adopts robotics, drones, and thermal-imaging AI to improve surveillance and targeted pest-control operations
- 3Encourages practitioners to use data-driven monitoring, coordinated fogging, larviciding, and community charter engagement
Scoring Rationale
Official government initiatives and AI-enabled surveillance raise practical value, limited by local scope and operational-update novelty.
