FOGGING & LARVACIDING TREATMENT
What Is Fogging & Larvaciding?
Fogging is a technique used for killing insects that involves using a fine pesticide spray (aerosol) which is directed by a blower. In some cases a hot vapour may be used to carry the spray and keep it airborne for longer.
A larvicide is an insecticide that is specifically targeted against the larval life stage of an insect. Their most common use is against mosquitoes. Larvicides may be contact poisons, stomach poisons, growth regulators, or biological control agents
types of mosquito control insecticides:
Residual chemicals
Residual chemicals will leave residues that last for hours to weeks.
They are typically not suitable for outdoor use due to their residual effect and potential impact on beneficial insects in the environment.
Moreover, spraying residual chemicals around your house or premises will act as a barrier that will kill any mosquito that comes in contact.
Non-residual chemicals
Non-residual chemicals do not leave residue; therefore, they are most suitable for outdoor.
Furthermore, non-residual chemicals have a much shorter half-life.
This means their effect rapidly declines after application, resulting in much less impact on other wildlife.
Let us Protect You from mosquito-borne diseases
Mosquitoes are pesky pests that can spread the world’s deadliest diseases.
Diseases that are spread to people by mosquitoes include the Zika virus, West Nile virus, Chikungunya virus, dengue, and malaria.
Moreover, do you know that malaria is one of the most severe public health problems in the world? It is the leading cause of death and disease in many developing countries.
Larvaciding
A larvicide is a type of insecticide used to control mosquitoes indoors and outdoors around your home. They work by killing mosquito larvae before they can grow into adults. Some formulations are activated when ingested by the mosquitoes, and some formulations work when they come into contact with the larvae
Larvicides come in many forms.
Liquids
Liquid larvicide products are applied directly to water using backpack sprayers and truck- or aircraft-mounted sprayers.
Dunks, tablets, bits
These forms of larvicide are also applied to areas where mosquitoes lay eggs.
