India is endemic for 6 major vector-borne diseases, namely malaria, dengue, chikungunya, filariasis, Japanese encephalitis, and visceral leishmaniasis.
Effective mosquito management is the need of the hour, and thermal fogging is highly effective. Thermal fogging disturbs the life cycle of the insects and thus destroys mosquitoes, which have the potential to multiply. Best results are achieved when fogging is done in places where mosquitoes breed (stagnant water, gully traps, roadside drains, etc.) and at a time of day when these insects are active, which is usually early in the morning or late evening hours and sometimes at night.
