>They then send agents unannounced to inspect inside every home/unit in the area for any potential breeding grounds. Everything is checked from potted plant trays to dish drying racks to toilet bowl scrubber holders. If any breeding is found, there’s fines in the thousands of dollars. The agents are empowered to enter without a warrant; it’s taken THAT seriously.

Came here to say this. I lived in SG for 14 years, we had the "mosquito police" show up to our office (shophouse in Emerald hill) and do an inspection.

If you're getting mosquitoes in your place, you can call the NEA and they'll send people out looking for the source.

Grass is mowed religiously in Singapore to help keep the mosquitoes under control and there's always a ton of spraying. During COVID lockdowns, a lot of the lawn guys were stuck in the dormitories so the grass got tall. Also, the coconut palms went untrimmed. The morning walks became fraught with danger as the palms were overloaded with coconuts and were consistently falling onto the footpaths. I know COVID sucked for a lot of people, but I find a weird sense of nostalgia for that time.
