The new nano-coating is effective on ants, aphids, cockroaches, mosquitos, spiders, termites, ticks and certain other types of pests and vermin, while not affecting the health of people, pets or livestock, or harming the environment.

The paint coating exhibits high-quality traditional paint characteristics that include high brightness, high covering capacity, good light-scattering performance, good suspension capacity, good covering, high durability and easy dispersing performance.

"Our new anti-insect paint can be applied on almost every interior and exterior surface - from houses to farms, offices and government buildings, to transportation facilities and vehicles, through to health clinics and hospitals," said Dr. Castano, Chief Innovations Officer at Nano Labs. "It kills pests that can carry disease or parasites upon contact, which can bring incredible change to many parts of the world suffering from disease and parasites carried by insects. We have conducted very successful tests in Mexico with Atencio & Atencio and DIASA, a real estate development firm constructing homes in the northern state of Tamaulipas, next to the Gulf of Mexico, a tropical-like environment where biting insects transmit poison, disease and parasites that may result in death. Traditional, and so far unsuccessful, solutions have included nets, sprays or fumigations as control mechanisms. We are continuing to test in disease-control programs, but our experimental developments are proving very positive."
