dc.description.abstract Pesticides are widely used by pest control operators (PCOs) for the control of vectors, pests of public health importance, stored product pests, structural pests such as termites and wood-boring insects, as well as weeds along highways and public places. The use of pesticides in close proximity to the human population by PCOs who are untrained, lacking in competence and unregulated in many countries is of great concern. Such uncontrolled pest control activities not only affect human health and at times even kill but also cause adverse environmental effects and shorten the period of availability of much needed pesticides due to resistance.
