Top 10 Best Insecticide Brands In Nigeria

In Nigeria today, the main reason why insecticides are bought is to combat mostly female Anopheles mosquitoes which are the chief carriers of Plasmodium species, the causative organisms for Malaria. Malaria is a killer disease that still wreaks havoc in many Nigerian homes despite the huge efforts by government at all levels in the country to combat it as well as the numerous drugs that are produced regularly for its treatment.

Seeing that Malaria is a disease that is peculiar to the tropical regions of the world, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, of which Nigeria falls under, and that the female Anopheles mosquito breeds successfully in this part of the world while carrying and incubating the malaria parasite before transmitting it to humans once humans are bitten, it has become very necessary to prevent malaria by killing the carrier of its parasites which are the mosquitoes with potent insecticides.

There are many insecticide brands in Nigeria today that are very effective in killing mosquitoes and other insects, preventing malaria in the process but what we at Nigerian Guide will be looking at are the leading brands that are widely regarded by many people in the country as the best and most popular, as well as the most potent as far as insect killers are concerned and we shall list and discuss them below.

Ensure that while you are using insecticides to combat mosquitoes, your environment is kept very neat and tidy and that there are no stagnant water bodies around you as these are breeding grounds for the mosquitoes that harbour malaria parasites in them. Without further ado, let us get down to the business of the day.
