Help eliminate sites where "vectors" such as mosquitoes, cockroaches and rodents like to breed by reporting areas with stagnant water, trash containers, abandoned pools or fountains, discarded tires, areas of industrial or commercial debris, etc.
Fewer vectors means less dengue, chikungunya, zika, malaria, West Nile Virus, and other similar infectious diseases.
After downloading the free TrashWatch app on your smartphone, identify the problem and suspected source, and take a picture. That’s it! The app will automatically upload the GIS-tagged photo to a global map that will alert local public health officials to the problem.
Get involved! Prevent illness, and save lives!
Help stop vector-borne diseases by reporting potential breeding sites. Doing so is ecologically responsible because it can minimize the need for blanket spraying.
Just a few clicks on your phone can help stop these killers in their tracks!
