Fighting creepy crawlies
The Hindu : Insects invade every dream home. Cockroaches, mosquitoes, flies, spiders, honeybees, ants, woodborers, termites and bugs — the list is endless — sometimes conquer a part of the house or the whole.
Many people have devised their own mechanisms to prevent these creatures from entering their houses. They succeed in keeping commonly found insects away to a large extent.
Today, various anti-insect, anti-fungus, anti-bacterial and anti-dust-mite products are available in the market. These include the Artilin series of products from France.
“The Artilin range consists of various paints. The anti-insect paint, on application, kills all flying and crawling insects that land on the painted surface. It gives houses a clean environment and keeps the home free of insects, fungi and bacteria,” says K.M. Basheer, chief executive officer, Ubique Distributors Ltd., based in Kozhikode city.
