After the rainy season, we always have a major increase of ticks on our pets. Even those who live in the house and never roam the streets get them. Those little buggers are rather fast and move in and nest also in the garage etc.
Of course they are rather easy to remove and there is medication like Frontline available to treat the animals. But then itās often already too late, they have bitten and sucked blood.
And Lyme Borreliosis is a disease that can be quite dangerous for humans. So itās important to check, often esp. after walking through grasslands.
The Aedes or tiger mosquito is very active again.
In our kompleks we recently had over 5 cases of Dengue. Finally in Europe it also gets some attention since it is moving north.
Now the fogging is (re)done and the Bu RW / Pak RTās even do their rounds looking for flower pots with water etc.
I wonder what the use is with the nearby kali and kampung where obviously no action whatsoever is taken. (It seems the mosquito can access a diameter of 500 meter.)
