PRODUCT APPLICATION: In early July 2011, the test was carried out by myself, Clives Parkes and my local team, whereas the product were given to an untrained person to apply. The application instructions were to spray the whole garden around the house as well as all ponds and places where water accumulates. The mixture of 1 part of Mozzy-Ology and 200 parts of tap water was sprayed once a week for the first month. After those four weekly applications, the product was sprayed once a month. The application was carried out with a hand spray bottle available in all hardware stores. After the first six applications, 320 grams of Mozzy-Ology remained. PRACTICALITIES: During the first spraying, it became evident that a back pack type of sprayer with the lateral hand pump is the practical way to apply Mozzy-Ology. The application is fast but a hand sprayer makes the hand tire rapidly, thus rendering the task unpleasant. Initially there is a light molasses type smell which is not offensive but disappears within a couple of minutes. We recommend that buckets and sprayer used to apply the product be washed immediately after usage as they tend to get sticky very fast if left unwashed. No mask or protection gear was necessary for the above mentioned applications.

The mosquito reduction was dramatic from the second week onwards as we noticed that we could stay outdoors between 1600h and 2000h without the need of burning coils and the necessity of several applications of anti mosquito oils. The behavior of the few remain mosquitos was not usual as they would land on the table but not attack our ankles, wrists and neck. The spraying continues once a month with the additional bonus of a noticeable improvement in the garden shrubs and plants as the beneficial effect of the additional biology in soil was described to us by Interlog trading cc prior Mozzy-Ology application. CONCLUSION: None of this test participants are either qualified or trained for the task. The above test results are judged on what happened in a real life in an area where malaria is a serious life threatening risk and where the beauty of the place as well as the temperate climate entices you to stay outdoor. The method used to quantify the mosquito presence abatement was by comparing a similar size house and garden 300 meters down the same road. Even with burning coils and copious amounts of repellant, it was impossible to remain outside longer than 20 minutes. We hope that this report can be of use for a more scientific test. I wish now to become a selling agent for Mozzy-Ology.
