With dengue still a problem in Singapore, we look at some devices to keep us safe from mosquito bites.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Given their capacity for spreading dreaded diseases, mosquitoes are one of the most despised insects on the planet. Among the myriad maladies mozzies carry is dengue, an illness that can be potentially life-threatening.<\/p>\n

In Singapore, there has been a significant increase in the number of dengue cases in recent years. In fact, the number of dengue cases in 2022 looks set to be the highest on record, based on figures on the National Environment Agency website. Given this epidemic, most people have been desperately trying ways to keep these pests at bay. Here, we highlight a few anti-mosquito devices that promise to eliminate those pesky bloodsuckers. All prices are in Singapore dollars.<\/p>\n

Smart home enthusiasts might be interested to try out Thermacell\u2019s LIV Smart Mosquito Repellent System, which offers protection from mosquitoes around each of its repellers.

The system can be connected to your home\u2019s WiFi, after which you can control it with the free LIV app. When activated, it sends a signal and a charge to five repellers to turn them on, diffusing an invisible and odourless vapour containing 5.5% metofluthrin as the active ingredient. According to Thermacell, the fog provides a 20-foot radius of protection from mosquitoes.<\/p>\n
