Public Health
Mosquito abatement districts survey municipalities for mosquitoes and ticks that carry vector-borne diseases and subsequently develop a plan for abating pests in the districts for public health and safety. Mosquitoes are developing resistance to some common pest control product active ingredients and it is a growing concern for public safety. Public health authorities need new tools that are effective and limit the development of resistance. NootkaShieldTM nootkatone will offer an alternative protection with no known resistance for the prevention and management of pest resistance. Having a product that is effective is critical for this market segment.
