Mosquitoes are notorious for being a nuisance pest generally during the summer season. However, control of mosquitoes extends beyond just personal care, and is an integral aspect of global public health safety, as these small insects are vectors of many deadly diseases. The 2015 outbreak of the Zika virus in South America, Central America, and the United States galvanized countries to increase vector control measures to quickly reduce mosquito populations. In 2019, another disease outbreak is anticipated, as many Southeast Asian countries have reported a higher incidence of Dengue fever. India, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia are all increasing protection measures. Insecticide sales for mosquito control are evaluated to be USD 200 million from seven major countries, including these four in Southeast Asia, as profiled in Kline’s just published Mosquito Control study.

Rapid Growth is Expected for Wheat and Canola Seed Treatment in Australia

Upcoming Webinar – Pest Control in Production Animal Health
Pest control is a major issue in animal-based agriculture due to the impact of these pests on productivity. Insects annoy and irritate animals, transmit disease, reduce weight gains, and reduce production. Producers have gone to extraordinary lengths in sanitation, manure and litter removal, facility design, and air handling to eliminate potential entry points and breeding areas for flies and other insects. Still, situations remain that are most effectively handled by an insecticide application.
Attend our live presentation on Wednesday, March 6, 2019 to learn about the latest developments in this marketContinue reading
