While speaking at the ceremony, Nasheed recognized that chemicals are not the best method for pest control as fogging or other chemical methods can also have adverse effects on living things other than mosquitos such as bacteria or insects beneficial to the soil.

The former president further added that he hopes the lack of chemicals in the current weather leads to dragonflies and butterflies being observed around the parliament, as well as drastically reducing the number of mosquitos.
