Our Integrated Mosquito Control Approach

We use a comprehensive approach combining source reduction, larviciding, and targeted adulticiding for maximum effectiveness.

Source Reduction

Identification and elimination of mosquito breeding sites around your property.

Comprehensive breeding site inspection
Water source management guidance
Structural modification recommendations
Ongoing monitoring and maintenance

Larviciding Programs

Targeted treatment of breeding sites with environmentally safe larvicides.

Biological and chemical larvicides
Drain and water feature treatments
Long-lasting residual protection
Health authority approved methods

Adult Mosquito Control

Strategic adulticiding when necessary, using community-safe application methods.

Ultra-low volume (ULV) applications
Targeted timing for maximum effectiveness
Minimal environmental impact
Coordination with health authorities

Sri Lanka's Mosquito Challenge

Sri Lanka's tropical climate and monsoon patterns create ideal conditions for mosquito breeding and disease transmission. Our control programs are specifically designed for these environmental challenges.

Year-Round Breeding

Consistent warm temperatures allow continuous mosquito reproduction cycles throughout the year.

Monsoon Amplification

Heavy rains create numerous temporary breeding sites, leading to population explosions.

Urban Density

High population density in cities accelerates disease transmission when outbreaks occur.

Prevention Strategies

Effective mosquito control requires community-wide prevention efforts. Follow these guidelines to reduce breeding sites around your property.

Water Management

Empty and clean water storage containers weekly
Cover water tanks and barrels with tight-fitting lids
Remove standing water from flower pot saucers
Clean and maintain roof gutters regularly
Fix leaky pipes and faucets promptly

Property Maintenance

Remove discarded containers and debris
Trim vegetation to reduce resting sites
Ensure proper drainage around buildings
Maintain swimming pools and water features
Store containers upside down when not in use

Personal Protection

Use mosquito nets while sleeping
Apply EPA-approved repellents
Wear long sleeves during peak hours
Install screens on windows and doors
Use fans to create air circulation
