Safer, more effective fumigation technology now in the Philippines

In line with our commitment to human and environmental safety, Bio-Tech Environmental introduces another first in the Philippine pest control industry! For decades, methyl bromide has been a fumigant of choice in structural and commodity fumigation. However, due to its negative environmental impact, i.e. it depletes the ozone layer in the atmosphere, a worldwide phaseout of the chemical is currently underway. Phosphine (PH3), a colorless, toxic, and flammable gas, on the other hand, has now been wildely used as an environment-friendly and effective alternative to methyl bromide. Once…

Your answer might be that both cockroach and gecko give some people the creeps. That’s why such people might lump these two animals as “pests“. Can you name another similarity?

The secret has been uncovered. Watch this video and pay particular attention to the hind legs…

While pest control associations are working towards common industry standards, there is also a need for recognition of pest control companies that have gone beyond the bare minimum of merely getting by….
Mosquito flight study may lead to better Dengue Vector Control

Are you wondering how those pesky mosquitoes find hosts to victimize? Results of flight tunnel studies on the mosquito Aedes aegypti, the vector of dengue fever virus, revealed that carbon dioxide detected as turbulent plume leads to more directed flight upwind by the pest. A plume of this gas that is fluctuating in concentration and mimicking the presence of a live host elicited the best response. Carbon dioxide alone, without host odor, is enough to induce directed flight toward the source. This first encounter with the gas is…
