The system almost instantly starts working, providing and effective barrier against breeding mosquitos and reduces odours, while maintaining a healthy environment within the system. Resulting in a healthier pit latrine in use, while also making latrine visits more enjoyable and safer for you and your family.<\/p>\n<p>Our system negates the need for costly treatment chemicals (Though if used won&#8217;t be effected by them either).<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>It\u2019s a viable option for improving sanitation facilities in both urban and rural settings.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1vikk-8f088d49b89b6fbaa9141e9b8c55be85\">\n#top .hr.av-1vikk-8f088d49b89b6fbaa9141e9b8c55be85{\nmargin-top:20px;\nmargin-bottom:10px;\n}\n.hr.av-1vikk-8f088d49b89b6fbaa9141e9b8c55be85 .hr-inner{\nwidth:100%;\nborder-color:#0a0a0a;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-1vikk-8f088d49b89b6fbaa9141e9b8c55be85 hr-custom  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_half  hr-center hr-icon-no'><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-fat'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div  class='flex_column av-192e4-73aac1b5b971dc533bcbe2be2a50ffb3 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-lppqmkp3-5f1c3abd03340d12b820606f7e6a5237 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong>Control Mosquito Breeding:<\/strong> The use of EPS beads effectively brings down the mosquito population within a short period of time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Odour Suppression: <\/strong>The insular properties of EPS beads contribute to the suppression of odour from the pit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Moisture Resistance<\/strong>: EPS beads have low moisture absorption, which helps to keep the latrine dry and hygienic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Durability<\/strong>: The physical properties of EPS do not change significantly over time, making it a durable material that does not require frequent application.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cost-Effective<\/strong>: Due to their lightweight nature and ease of handling, EPS beads can reduce the overall cost of maintaining sanitary facilities.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-sgpg-ea286b268428eb760e9dd9a54b0e3903 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-lppqnqkw-c5d095bd39ca1c3af6a5b147cc19a328 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Mosquito Control<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One significant benefit of using sanitation beads in latrines is their potential for mosquito control.
