PUNTA GORDA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 12, 2006-Howe Enterprises International is joining the fight to eliminate malaria in Africa. We are introducing the first purpose built aerial adult mosquito control, cold fogging system. This patented technology is currently being used in the United States.

The CDC introduced aerial adulticiding during the 1930's in the United States to eliminate malaria. Howe Enterprises International proposes employing a similar strategy of large area treatment for vector control that was so successful in the United States.

Methods currently being used in Africa are permethrin treated bed nets, painting DDT on the wall of a house, truck mounted fogger units, larval mosquito control, prophylactic pills and efforts on the part of some scientists to develop a malaria vaccine.

The mosquito control industry has failed to produce an aerial spray system that is designed exclusively for the purpose of mosquito control operations. Systems in use today are designed for the application of agricultural chemicals that are to be deposited on a crop. They also work well for adult mosquito control, however, only about 5% of the total volume of insecticide dispensed, is done so in droplet sizes small enough to kill mosquitoes.

AeroMister(R) the registered trade name of our system has achieved efficiencies of product and aircraft usage 14 times greater than the existing agricultural spray systems in use today for adult mosquito control, on a technical basis. By employing an application method I have developed over the years, this can be increased to 28 fold.

For this program to work, as a practical matter, control levels should be as close to 100% as possible. The AeroMister(R) cold fogging unit attached to an aircraft is the most efficient tool ever devised, with a demonstrated level of efficacy that approaches 100%. This level of control is essential if malaria is ever to be defeated in Africa.
