If individuals started mass spraying their own properties with the insecticide of their choice, how long do you think it would be:

*Filed a lawsuit?
Yes, you can build a few homemade traps, but only the state can step in to eradicate mosquitoes in an area where a patient tested positive for dengue. Or other areas as a preventative measure.
The physicist going around giving lessons to communities on how to make and use the traps disagrees with you HOPTE.
4 to 10 traps under the eaves at each home is what has stopped outbreaks in other countries. Surely that's not too complicated for the adults of the Big Island. If the gov isn't stepping up to the plate, why don't we?
