Keeping Your
Family Healthy

At SC Johnson, we focus a tremendous amount of time and money on developing pest control products to improve families' lives.

We're continuously improving performance to repel mosquitoes longer, kill cockroaches and other pests faster, and help deter insects that may carry diseases. Details can be found in our Pest Control Fact Sheet.

Plus, for lower-income areas, we're simplifying technologies and driving down costs to make protection more affordable.

Here are just a few examples of SC Johnson products that help control dangerous diseases:

New OFF!® FamilyCare Towelettes — these are individually wrapped towelettes that offer convenient, easy application of repellent while on the go with your family. This North American product is helpful for protection from mosquitoes that could carry West Nile Virus.

It also boasts cutting-edge design and won strong scores in consumer tests for its performance. New Raid® Night & Day™ electric is now on shelves in Spain, Italy, France and Germany.
