It's easy to think of pest control as separate from sanitation. But in Malawi, inadequate waste disposal, standing water, open drains and structural neglect create perfect breeding grounds for pests.

In homes and communities where sanitation is poor, pest populations thrive.

Increased risk of diseases

Loss of food and income
