Dengue, often called “breakbone fever”, is a serious viral illness. It causes high fevers and aching joints. A tell-tale rash often appears, signalling a more severe reaction. This disease affects over 100 countries worldwide.
Dengue's reach is truly global. It impacts places from Brazil to Tambaram in India. In 2024, there were 14.6 million reported cases. More than 12,000 lives were lost. Mosquitoes, the carriers of this disease, travel without regard for borders.
The Aedes aegypti mosquito is a daytime biter, and they thrive in busy city environments. Without mosquito door screens, window screens, and repellent, they can cause significant harm.
Your balcony garden might be an unintended breeding ground. Even small water collections can host mosquito larvae. Installing aluminium mosquito screens can prevent mosquitoes and also keep out birds while allowing your plants to flourish.
For larger openings like doorways or French windows, fibreglass screens offer a clear view and allow fresh air inside, providing effective protection without compromising style.
