Ochre Pest Control and UiTM Launch PPRN Project on Eco-Friendly Mosquito Fogging Formulation
Ochre Pest Control Sdn. Bhd. is proud to announce a groundbreaking collaboration with Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) under the Public-Private Research Network (PPRN) program. The joint research project, titled “Development of Standardized Natural Product-Based Mosquito Fogging Formulations for Sustainable Pest Control”, is set to run for 12 months with a total project cost of RM82,820.00.
This initiative aims to address one of Malaysia’s most pressing public health concerns mosquito-borne diseases by developing an innovative, natural product-based fogging formulation. Unlike conventional chemical fogging, this eco-friendly approach will prioritise safety, sustainability, and environmental responsibility while maintaining high efficacy against mosquito vectors such as Aedes aegypti, the carrier of dengue fever.
Driving Innovation for Safer Communities
The project represents a strong step forward in Malaysia’s journey toward green pest control solutions, combining UiTM’s academic and scientific expertise with Ochre’s industry experience and operational insight. The partnership will focus on:
> Identifying and standardising locally sourced natural active ingredients
> Developing biodegradable formulations suitable for fogging applications
> Testing effectiveness through laboratory and field trials
> Ensuring compliance with safety, health, and regulatory standards
Strengthening Public-Private Collaboration
Through the PPRN framework, Ochre Pest Control is reinforcing its commitment to R&D, sustainability, and ESG values. The collaboration also highlights the importance of bridging academia and industry to create impactful, real-world solutions that protect communities.
“This project is more than just research—it’s a mission to reimagine how pest control can be carried out responsibly. By working hand-in-hand with UiTM, we are building a safer, greener future for Malaysia,” said Ochre Pest Control’s management team.
Towards Sustainable Pest Management
As pests continue to adapt and public expectations for eco-conscious solutions rise, natural product-based technologies will play a crucial role in the next generation of pest management. Ochre Pest Control’s investment in this project reflects its vision to become a leader not only in effective pest management but also in sustainable innovation for healthier communities.
