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.
