Whether your a commercial farmer, your animals are pets or high performance athletes, standing in a cloud of Ammonia while pestered by nuisance insects is neither healthy nor performance enhancing.

Nuisance insects, in particular biting insects are responsible for transmitting some of the most dangerous vector-borne diseases, with African Horse Sickness top of mind in the equestrian community. Within the human community of greatest importance is malaria, but also lymphatic filariasis, Japanese enchepalitis, dengue and other forms of encephalitis, Chikungunya, yellow fever and West Nile fever. Diseases such as West Nile Virus and Dengue fever where there is no effective cure, vector control remains the only way to protect both human and animal populations.

As the impacts of these vector-borne diseases can be devastating, the need to control the vectors is paramount. 

Prevention through vector control and good hygiene practices are needed to protect both human and animal populations. The object of all control measures is to reduce contact between infected insects thereby reducing disease transmission opportunities to the point of interruption whilst minimizing harm to the environment and human health. Resulting in a more healthy environment for all.

Integrated vector control (IVC) refers to the use of a combination of appropriate technologies and management techniques to bring about effective vector suppression. Therefore, the greater the number of interventions applied the greater success a sustainable strategy will have.

Methods currently available are:

• Chemical control
• Environmental management and source reduction
• Personal protection methods
• Biological control
• Health education

Protection can be achieved by using repellents or insecticide-(treated netting, direct application etc..) whilst biological and chemical control of biting insect vectors aimed at the larval and adult stage of their life cycle can be achieved using environmental management and source reduction that includes larviciding, indoor residual spraying (IRS) and the use of insecticidal space sprays.
Since the habitat of insect life cycle stages differ, the approaches to suppression and the insecticides, repellents and formulations used must be aligned to with both habitat and life cycle stages from egg, larvae through to adult..
