“In the evolutionary arms race between humanity and microbes, microbes are making a comeback. Yes, we’ve conquered diseases such as smallpox and polio and deaths from communicable diseases have been falling worldwide. But since 1970, more than 1,500 new pathogens have been discovered, according to the World Health Organization, pandemics such as SARS & COVID-19 in the 21st century are 
spreading faster and farther than ever. 

Outbreaks that were previously localized have now become global very rapidly and today it has become reality that humans are losing the battle. Businesses today are expected to be less harmful, more transparent, and to actively participate in making positive changes to improve the environment. As a leader in the pest management industry and the SME sector in Sri Lanka, we believe that we have a moral obligation to respond to this new paradigm to adopt a business model of increased accountability,” said Marlon Ferreira Founder/Managing Director.
