Fines and Jail for Mosquito Breeders
Those who are not cooperating in the Health Ministry’s efforts to eliminate breeding grounds for the Aedes aegypti mosquito may face fines of 5000 to 10000 colones and even jail time if they do not clean up their yards.
The Health Ministry has issued 1200 citations this year. The St. Lucia government has a good information page in English on the mosquito, with photos and recommendations.
