Am I the only one who suspect that this vaunted invention of the Department of Science and Technology is a hoax? Even President Aquino was made to claim its success twice in his State of the Nation Address yet the problem of dengue remains.
I tried to talk with some people who had a chance to utilize this contraption and asked them if they found it effective. However the answer I got was that they have no sufficient data to make a conclusion. A barangay chairperson even told me that it was useless.
In any invention, there is supposed to be a key technology that is at the heart of the such an invention. This ovitrap/larvaecide contraption has no such thing. True the idea behind it is that it will attract mosquitoes to lay egg on its larvicide laden container thereby killing the mosquito eggs but this method does not seem to be better than swatting a mosquito with an electric swatter.
Yet someone is now selling this "invention". I hope someone can get to have a closer look at this affair. Something smells fishy here.
