Many communities in low-income countries use in-home pesticides for the control of pests.
Such use is often inadequately controlled.
In this study, 100 households in Kireka ward, Wakiso district in Uganda were involved in a cross-sectional survey to assess pests, knowledge, and use patterns of pesticides.
A structured pretested questionnaire was administered via personal interviews, and observational checklists were used.
Mosquitoes were the most prevalent pests (83%), followed by cockroaches (69%) and rats (52%).
Pesticides were the most preferred method for pest control (98%), with insecticide spray being the most common form of application (71.4%).
Pesticide application was inappropriately done in many households mainly due to inadequate knowledge on use.
Only 48% of the respondents read manufacturer's instructions for use.
Information on what pesticide to use was obtained from friends (53.1%), points of sales (48%).
Educational interventions particularly at points of sale would be a critical avenue for promoting safe use of pesticides in households.
