mosquito adulticides
products to control mosquitoes
introduction
Mosquitoes carrying Malaria constitute the greatest threat to public health in areas where they are endemic. In other areas mosquito species that do not carry disease are a nuisance, causing irritating bites; and therefore control in tourist areas is essential.
The World Health Organisation, together with many other NGO’s, charitable organisations and governments, has major programmes running to reduce Malaria deaths.
