Agricultural scientist Johan Gerber has been working in the field of pesticides for years and involved with various leading agricultural companies in the development and registration of many environmentally-responsible pest solutions available on the South African market for agricultural and home garden use. Johan writes for a variety of consumer and industry publications.

"I support the careful consideration of all available pest control techniques and subsequent integration of appropriate measures that discourage the development of pest populations and minimise the risks to human health and the environment. "
