SF Safety Consulting & Innovation offers services in the development of safe and effective repellents in the fight against Dengue<\/p>\n

Natural Insecticides: Alternatives to Fight Insects and Dengue<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The dengue epidemic, a disease transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, is a serious public health problem in Brazil. With the increase in temperature and rainfall, mosquito prevention areas multiply, putting the health of the population at risk.<\/p>\n

Fighting Dengue: Everyone's Commitment<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The use of repellents, together with other measures such as eliminating mosquito breeding sites, is essential to prevent dengue fever and other diseases transmitted by mosquitoes.<\/p>\n

Preventing dengue is everyone's commitment.<\/p>\n

Repellents: An Essential Weapon in Dengue Prevention<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The use of repellents is a fundamental measure to protect yourself against the bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, especially during peak activity times, such as dawn and dusk.<\/p>\n

The Most Used Repellents and Their Assets<\/strong><\/h3>\n

On the market, we find different types of repellents, with different concentrations of active ingredients and presentations. Among the most used are:<\/p>\n

DEET: The best-known and most effective repellent, with action of up to 12 hours.<\/p>\n

Icaridin: An alternative to DEET, with less odor and skin protection, effective for up to 10 hours.<\/p>\n

IR3535: Safe for children and pregnant women, with action of up to 8 hours.<\/p>\n

Natural Insecticides: A Safe Option<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Although there are still no natural products registered with ANVISA, companies can request registration to prove the efficacy and safety of the product. Several natural ingredients, such as citronella, cloves and eucalyptus oil, have repellent and insecticidal potential.<\/p>\n
