 Mosquitoes are the vector which cause the spread of dengue and chicken gunia. The Environmental Health Department brings you the following presentation. Hi, I'm Glenda with the Department of Environmental Health and today I'm going to show you the proper way to make a drum cover. The reason for this demonstration today is because during our service we've realized that drums are the number one breeding grounds for the Edis Egyptime Hospital, which is the cause for dengue, fever, and st. Lucia. The materials which we will require are fine wire mesh, a sewing needle, fishing line, pearl scissors, cutting pliers, a hacksaw blade, and seven ply heavy wire. And also we will need our drum to measure the circumference of the wire. For the purpose of this demonstration, I'm using a 24 inch circumference drum and I'm going to cut my, well I've already cut my wire, 26 inches long so as to allow one inch allowance on each end, so as to create a hook. So you take your cutting pliers and you bend your end to form a hook. For the purpose of this demonstration, I already have mine in the form of a hook, so I'm just going to put it together and show you what it is supposed to look like over the drum. Now that I'm satisfied with the size of the ring, what I'm going to do now is take the mesh and sew it onto my ring using the fishing line. We have already started sewing one, so I'm going to show you how to use the fishing line. Now the reason that we're using the fishing line as opposed to the thread is because that it could withstand the elements of nature, the rain, sun, wear and tear. And after you're done sewing your mesh onto your ring, this is what your drum cover should look like. Now we are going to, I'm just going to show you how the drum cover fits on the drum. If you look, you can see that the wire serves as a weight for the mesh around the drum. This will keep the mesh firm to prevent mosquitoes from entering the drum. This will prevent the mosquitoes from breathing and help prevent the spread of dengue fever. The 80s Egyptian mosquito is responsible for dengue and chicken gonia. Help prevent the spread of these diseases. Act now. For further information, contact the Environmental Health Department at telephone number 468-3700.
