PROTECT YOUR FAMILY FROM DENGUE, OTHER MOSQUITO-BORNE DISEASES

The onset of the wet season once again brings about heightened anxiety about the health hazards that come with it—particularly mosquitoborne diseases like dengue and Zika.

On that note, advocating for prevention, is indeed better than searching for the cure. Trusted industry leader, Jardine Distribution Inc. (JDI), urges homeowners to make use of available home pest solutions to safeguard their families from dengue and Zika, especially when the rains start to come.

JDI offers ZAP All Knock- down multi-insect killer that kills Aedes aegypti mosquitoes with its anti-dengue formula. Sourced from leading Japanese chemical firm Sumitomo Chemical, ZAP ensures fast knockdown power and long-lasting effects with its high-quality active ingredient. ZAP covers hard-toreach areas and can likewise destroy other disease-carrying pests like cockroaches and flies that pose health hazards to family members.

Still another insidious disease to watch out for is leptospirosis, an infectious bacterial disease that may be acquired by wading in floodwa- ters contaminated by rodents’ urine. For the entire 2017, the DOH reported a total of 2,495 cases of leptospirosis and 261 deaths nationwide, an alarming 49.1-percent increase from the 1,673 cases recorded in 2016.

Homeowners can exterminate rats and mice in just one feeding with JDI’s Klerat. It contains Brodicacoum, a new generation high potency rat killer. Unlike other brands that require multiple feeding for rodents to ingest enough poison, Klerat is so potent that it requires the least amount of bait to kill.
