Eradication the mosquito by fogging is not effective and no efficient, it do only as focus fogging if positive case Dengue and or on endemic area only to eradicate infectious adult mosquito, be followed by doing mosquito nest eradication and selective giving abate powder. So it can make mosquito became resistance. About abate only effective for large container with full water to eradicate larva of mosquito.
