Saving Future Lives from Dengue Fever, an Infectious Disease Spread by Mosquitoes
GUARD OUR FUTURE

GUARD OUR FUTURE project logo

In Southeast Asia, Dengue fever, an infectious disease spread by mosquito bites, is a social problem that threatens the lives of people, particularly children.
Kao has therefore developed a new repellent technology that alters the skin’s surface to give it properties disliked by mosquitoes to inhibit them from staying on the skin as well as a technology that prevents mosquitoes from flying by wetting their wings and bodies.
In addition to setting up a system to deliver this technology to those who need it, we have launched initiatives to reduce the damage caused by Dengue fever, initially in Thailand, in collaboration with government, industry, and academia.
To make their lives mosquito bite free, we are promoting these initiatives to protect future lives from Dengue fever under the name of “GUARD OUR FUTURE” project.

ARS Mos Shooter

This mosquito eradication spray was commercialized using Kao’s technology and Earth Corporation’s expertise. It uses a trigger that can constantly spray a fine mist, knocking-down both flying and hidden mosquitoes. Because it does not contain chemically manufactured insecticidal components, it can be used in settings where the use of insect control products has previously been avoided.
