The Andhra Pradesh government is rolling out the Smart Mosquito Surveillance System (SMoSS), an AI‑driven initiative aiming to modernize mosquito control.

The pilot will cover 66 locations across six municipal corporations—including Visakhapatnam, Vijayawada, Kakinada, Rajamahendravaram, Nellore, and Kurnool.

Smart sensors will detect mosquito species, gender, density, temperature, and humidity in real time.

Once numbers cross preset thresholds, alerts trigger targeted spraying or fogging through drones, heat maps, and traps.

A central dashboard, updated via IoT (Internet of Things), will guide precision operations, reducing blanket chemical use and costs.

Outsourced to specialist agencies, the programme rewards results and integrates citizen feedback through mobile apps.
