I’m surprised no one else has asked this: Do these traps harm any other wildlife on the island? Frogs? Birds? Cats? Dogs? Beneficial insects? Children?

Did they not say the zika mosquito doesn’t exist here?

By: sure.

Awesome job on the preventative measures for preventing Zika Virus here in Bermuda. Although I wish it were something brought to the forefront when the Virus first made the headlines in other places, it is better late than never.

Okay it’s great to see that government is starting to get its act together to address the Zika issue.

So the questions that come to mind are,
Is this a tried and successful device for the Zika mosquito?
What is the effective range for this trap?
How many has government purchased?
If it works how many will be needed?
How much do they cost?
How often do they need to be cleaned and the attractant etc recharged?
What is the cost to recharge?
Does this device kill all the other mosquito types already here?
Will there be a need for more staff?

Also has the Tourism Authority been informed so they can advertise Bermuda as being Zika free?
Zika is rampant through the the Caribbean being Zika free could be a huge plus for our tourism numbers.
