Barangay Dumoy's own fogging machine keeps dengue at bay and residents safe

 



The decision of Barangay Dumoy, Davao City chairman Jessie Mar Culaste, to buy a fogging machine for the barangay has a huge benefit for the residents, especially against the deadly dengue disease.

Culaste said in his first term as barangay captain in 2002, he had already purhased two fogging machines for the barangay, but as years went by, some of them got broken, and he decided to replace them with a new one.


The long-time barangay captain of Dumoy said he prioritized buying a fogging machine for the barangay to mitigate and stop dengue from spreading in his beloved barangay.

"Kung naa sarili fogging machine ang barangay dili na kaayo kita mag depende sa City Health Office ug ma avoid nato ang outbreak sa dengue," Culaste told Latest Davao News.


He said buying a fogging machine is not easy since it usually costs P150,000 for each device.

Culaste revealed using a fogging machine is not done regularly since it can only be used if a barangay has a dengue case.


Culaste added before the barangay conducts a fogging activity, it needs to orient the purok first and conduct a massive community clean-up to ensure baby mosquitos hiding in containers will be destroyed.

He said with their fogging machine, dengue cannot spread quickly in his barangay and keep the residents safe from harm.
