It is a yellow color, moves a jump, increases activity at night, and does not make a sound. The sand fly can transfer the parasite of the leishmania by sucking it into the blood of the infected person (human or animal) by laying its eggs in the place of the pinch. The egg then develops to hatch and then feeds on the cells inside the pinch area in the victim’s body to develop in After a scar does not disappear Over time, the disease spreads in agricultural and rural areas.

It is worth mentioning that the campaign targets all insects, including scorpions and other harmful insects also targeted snakes and small reptiles that spread in homes due to the effectiveness of the pesticide and strength.
