Suren Cooke Agencies, the pioneers in making the community a safer place to live, carried out a massive vector control campaign in several rural areas, to help people get relief from mosquitoes.
Dengue is the most deadly mosquito-borne viral disease, especially confronting countries located within the equatorial region, having high temperature. Rainfall and humidity are conducive for mosquito breeding and migration that causes extensive transmission of the disease.
Suren Cooke Agencies, the masters when it comes to the pest management industry in the country, extended its support to the ‘News 1st Gammadda’ initiative in Thamaraville, Barathikulam, Faizal Nagar and Idiman fourth Div areas in Kinniya, Trincomalee, to carry out a successful vector control campaign using its latest equipment.
The two-day programme covered 14 schools in the four villages.
Mosquitoes are known for spreading dangerous diseases like dengue and malaria, the main cause for deaths caused by viral infections all over the country.
Suren Cooke Agencies used its latest product Pulsfog high output thermal fogging machines during the campaign, a method which proved to be an effective way of eradicating mosquitoes from a neighbourhood when a large area is concerned without undue harm to the environment.
Unlike the conventional truck-mounted foggers, which were used for such operations in the past, the users of this Pulsfog thermal fogging machine can navigate into more confined spaces where conventional truck-mounted fogging machines cannot access, so it is far more cost effective and potable compared to its predecessor.
Suren Cooke Agencies has always been in the forefront of the vector control industry and takes great pride in working on corporate social responsibility projects such as these.
Suren Cooke Agencies works closely with government institutions to train the staff on the proper usage of the Pulsfog thermal fogging machines in their war against the deadly mosquitoes.
Commenting on new advancements in vector control, of Suren Cooke Agencies founder Cooke said that they are currently in the process of further testing one of the latest products, the Sky Spray 1000 Copter, which will further reduce the time and manpower needed for such campaigns.
“If you don’t keep innovating, you cannot make a real change and there is always a better way,” Cooke said.
Since its inception in 1985, Suren Cooke Agencies has been in the forefront of helping the community in effective management of pests and also it imports and supplies pesticides, larvicides and equipment to government institutions, mainly the dengue control unit defence services, hospitals, anti-malaria campaign, provincial councils and non-government organisations such as the World Health Organisation and World Food Programme.
