4 STEPS TO EFFECTIVELY COMBAT AEDES MOSQUITOES TOGETHER!
Larvicide treatment to control the development of mosquitoes’ larvae on stagnant water
Thermal foggingor ULV treatmente�ectively controls the populationof adult Aedes mosquitoes
Use adult mosquito traps to further control the mosquito life cycle
Eliminate mosquito breeding grounds (stagnant water) in your home/ property & surrounding areas
We are committed to protecting your home and family from Dengue with regular checksand safe mosquito control solutions.
Absence of unpleasant
Reduces flash fire and explosion risks from diesel-based thermal fogging
Minimal smoke environment for improved safety, especially towards the passing motorists. Lesser smoke = Better visibility
Reduces risk of slip and fall from oily surfaces to pedestrians and motorists
Water carrier does not produce carbon emission. It reduces air pollution especially during haze crisis
IMM is a programme which involves the following 4 steps that can help fight against the Aedes mosquitoes targeted at each life cycle.
