TRAP. A woman in Cebu City prides herself on having an electric insect/mosquito trap. She said mosquitoes that carry the dengue disease scare her like the devil.

COILS. "I have gotten rid of mosquito coils because these don't kill mosquitoes. I'm lucky to have this electric trap," she said.

OIL. My poorer cousins in the mountain barangays customarily spread oil on a plastic plate and run after mosquitoes, but this is tiresome for me, she said.
