Not to put a damper on the start of the Christmas season, but the fact remains that it is STILL dengue season in the Philippines, and everyone is still at risk! Endemic to the Philippines, the risk of transmission is highest during and immediately following the rainy season, which typically occurs May-November.* Statistics from the Department of Health even show that dengue cases reached 64,797 nationwide from January to June 25 this 2022 which is 90 percent higher than cases recorded in the same period last year which reached 37,074.**
The great news is you have the power to fight off and not fall prey to this painful, weakening viral disease unleashed by just one bite from a dengue-carrying mosquito. One effective way to quash the threat of dengue is by regularly spraying an insecticide that provides optimal protection for your family by killing 100% dengue mosquitoes.
Reckitt Benckiser, makers of Lysol, the No. 1 Disinfectant Spray in the Philippines, formulated a household insecticide brand to help destroy dengue mosquitoes: Mortein. First manufactured as an insecticidal powder in the 1870’s by German J. Hagemann, Mortein ticks all the boxes on why it is the perfect partner your family can ever have in the fight against dengue!
What makes Mortein better
- Kills 100% dengue mosquitoes
- Tested to kill both flying and crawling insects
- Infused with citronella and citrus oils which are natural insect repellents
- More environmentally friendly with its water-based formulation
Why Mortein works
Mortein, which combines the French word “mort” meaning death and the German word “ein” meaning one, is better than other household insecticides as it bears three proprietary active ingredients which knock down mosquitoes and other flying and crawling insects. These ingredients are packed under pressure in a can and delivered through aerosol technology which ensures that only precise amounts are sprayed on an exact area with maximum effectiveness.
From the makers of Lysol
Mortein is one of the flagship pest products of Reckitt, a global company of over 40,000 people, who are united by one passionate purpose: a cleaner, healthier world for all. Expertly engineered by the makers of Lysol, Mortein shares the same mission: “To protect families and their future.” Mortein promises to never let pest-borne diseases ruin the health and future of communities.
Oplan Mortein: Dengue ay iwasan para sa kinabukasan
Mortein has been consistently raising public awareness against dengue as it recently launched Oplan Mortein: Dengue ay Iwasan Para sa Kinabukasan in Paranaque city. Oplan Mortein has also consistently underlined the fight vs. dengue through the 4-S: Search and destroy mosquito-breeding sites; Self protect with long-sleeves and pants, mosquito repellants and nets; Support fogging and spraying in hotspots; and, Seek medical consultation.
And as the campaign against dengue continues, a household insecticide produced by the country’s top household disinfectant Lysol is certainly the perfect partner to have around every Filipino family who want to achieve a dengue-proof home and a more secure future.
