Shieldtox, Malaysia’s leading aerosol pesticide brand, has teamed up with the Communication for Behavioural Impact (COMBI) Volunteer Group to launch a joint initiative focused on combating the spread of dengue fever.

The collaboration aims to raise public awareness about dengue prevention and provide Malaysians with the knowledge and tools to protect themselves from this mosquito-borne disease.

With the increasing number of dengue cases in Malaysia, Shieldtox and COMBI Volunteer Group are committed to promoting pest-free environments and reducing the incidence of dengue-related illnesses.

Combating the Dengue threat

Dengue fever has become a significant health concern in Malaysia, with a staggering 139% increase in dengue cases.

Factors such as rising temperatures, flood disasters, and conducive environments for mosquito breeding contribute to the rapid spread of dengue. In response to this alarming trend, Shieldtox has taken proactive measures to address the issue.

By focusing on education and community outreach, they aim to equip communities with the necessary tools and knowledge to prevent the spread of dengue.

To kick-start their collaborative efforts, Shieldtox and COMBI Volunteer Group organized the One Hour Malaysia Clean Up and Gotong-Royong Mega Perangi Aedes 1.0 event.

Held at Dewan Rakyat Batu Caves, the event provided an interactive and educational platform to disseminate crucial information about dengue prevention.

The event aimed to strengthen community participation in environmental cleanliness activities and reduce the incidence of dengue-related illnesses. Leveraging Shieldtox’s wide reach and influence, the event aimed to impart essential knowledge about dengue prevention to communities in need.

Through their partnership, Shieldtox and COMBI Volunteer Group are making a significant impact in raising awareness about dengue prevention and promoting a pest-free environment.

By joining forces with renowned brands Dettol and Harpic, the collaborative effort brings together expertise in hygiene, disinfection, and toilet hygiene to combat dengue fever.

Through community outreach activities, interactive quizzes, and education on the proactive “Search and Destroy” method, the initiative aims to empower communities, increase public knowledge about dengue prevention, and create a cleaner and healthier environment for all Malaysians.
