Public Health

Public health pesticides are chemical or biological substances used to control or eliminate disease-carrying organisms, such as mosquitoes, ticks, and rodents, to protect public health. Public health pesticides can be applied in various forms, including sprays, baits, and fumigants.

Public health pesticides are widely used to prevent and manage the spread of diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, and West Nile virus, as well as to control pests in and around homes, schools, and other public spaces.
