McBride Caribbean and Hanschell Inniss Assists NCC in the Dengue Fight

The National Conservation Commission (NCC) recently received some ammunition to aid in its fight to eliminate the Aedes Aegypti mosquito, the vector that transmits the potentially life-threatening dengue virus.

McBride (Caribbean) Limited, the leading aerosol manufacturer in the region partnered with their distribution partner, Hanschell Inniss Limited, donated cases of BOP Insecticide along with $1,600 in cash to the organisation to assist in the efforts to  mitigate the effects of the deadly mosquito.

As news of the increase in dengue cases locally spreads, McBride and Hanschell Inniss made the decision to help the NCC  as we approach the rainy season. By using BOP, the commission can treat areas where mosquitoes are present and help  protect persons in susceptible communities.In addition, the financial support will enable the commission to sustain their day-to-day efforts.

Ms. Nicole Fergusson, Brands Developer, Caribbean with McBride shared, “Through this collaborative action, we believe we can all play our part in dengue prevention and inspire others to join the fight against dengue and make our communities safer and more resilient to this potentially deadly disease.”

BOP Insecticide is available in three scents, Original in the black can, Evergreen in the green can and  Citronella in the yellow can, which has the added benefit of mosquito-repelling properties inherit in the citronella fragrance. 

Mr. Cranston Kirton, Brand Manager for Hanschell Inniss, the authorized distributor for BOP, presented the donation to Mr. Ricardo Marshall, Deputy General Manager (Ag.) and Mrs. Patricia Harbin-Jones, Senior Storekeeper of the National Conservation Commission.
