The Municipalities Affairs and Agriculture Ministry and the Health Ministry said they are stepping up joint action to tackle mosquito spread across Bahrain, following Cabinet directives for urgent measures to protect public health.
Municipal teams in the Capital, Muharraq, Northern and Southern areas have begun intensified water removal, pest control and field monitoring. Plans include clearing standing water from open areas, cleaning surrounding sites, removing waste that can collect water, and cutting weeds that provide breeding grounds.
Officials are carrying out regular inspections to monitor progress and improve co-ordination. The Municipalities Affairs and Agriculture Ministry urged the public to follow waste disposal rules and report standing water or cleanliness issues via 80008188.
The Health Ministry is continuing co-ordinated efforts to control mosquitoes, especially during conditions that increase breeding. Measures include intensified field work to detect and eliminate breeding sites.
It noted mosquito activity rises with rainfall, standing water and moderate temperatures and humidity, and called on residents to remove stagnant water from containers, tyres and drains, and dispose of waste properly.
Requests for inspections and spraying services can be placed by calling 80008100 between 7.30am and 3pm, Sunday to Thursday.
