Last two posts are excellent reasons for everyone on the Big Island of Hawaii to step up to the plate and be responsible

Yes, that's exactly why I pay taxes, so I can also be responsible for vector control.

You have a point. It's my understanding that in the countries able to wipe out Dengue with the house traps, said traps were furnished and delivered by the government. I heard the Seaview Association impressively used their association fees to make traps,

I agree wholeheartedly the gov should have and NOW should be making and passing out traps with the first few cases. I've been told the Big Island budget was ridiculously low from cuts, in which case Oahu, the CDC and anyone else should have been called in immediately. Unbelievable.

Traps and GMO mosquito are needed immediately. The other diseases this type of mosquito can spread are absolutely horrid.
