The town has an urban population of 21,000 and a total population of 89,594 1999 census ref Kenya National Bureau of Statistics http treasury.go.ke cbs.go.ke pdf authority.pdf Population of local authorities ref . Overview Molo is along the Mau Forest which runs on the Mau Escarpment . The town was a settlement established primarily because of its fertility and vast vegetation. It is one of the coldest places in the country. This is a perfect place for growing Pyrethrum , a cash crop that can be maintained with little resources. There are plenty of other crops that are grown by farmers both small and large scale and attracting settlers, many of them politically empowered. This massive invasion resulted to a high rate of forest destruction and timber poaching. Efforts to reclaim land and grow trees have been outpaced by logging and charcoal making. The Kenyan government has since declared all forests contained from human activity. Only imported timber is permitted from 2002. Molo town has seven wards, five of them Kiambiriria, Molo, Sachangwani, Turi North and Turi South are within Molo Constituency , while the remaining two Koige and Sirikwa are part of the Kuresoi Constituency ref Electoral Commission of Kenya http www.eck.or.ke downloads pollingcentres.pdf Registration centres by electoral area and constituency ref .

A fogger is any device that creates a fog , typically containing an insecticide for killing insect s and other arthropod s. Foggers are often used by consumers as a low cost alternative to professional pest control services. The number of foggers needed for pest control depends on the size of the space to be treated, as stated for safety reasons on the instructions supplied with the devices. The fog may contain flammable gases, leading to a danger of explosion if a fogger is used in a building with a pilot light or other naked flame. ref cite web url http news.galvestondailynews.com story.lasso?ewcd cdb17663ab78fb18 title Bug foggers cause house explosion first Scott E. last Williams publisher The Daily News Galveston County date 2008 01 22 ref Foggers are also used in aeroponics , a branch of modern agriculture .

Pyrethrins are insecticides derived from chrysanthemum flowers pyrethrum . Piperonyl butoxide and n octyl bicycloheptene dicarboximide often are added to pyrethrin products to inhibit insects microsomal enzymes that detoxify pyrethrins.

It was built in an oriental style. History Johann Zacherl began importing insecticide made from pyrethrum from Tiflis in 1842. In 1870, he started to produce moth powder in Unterd bling , which he sold under the name Zacherl s insect killing tincture Zacherlin . By 1873, the four employees in his factory were already producing 600 tonnes of Zacherlin per year, which were sold in Zacherl s shops in Paris , Istanbul , Amsterdam , London , New York and Philadelphia . In 1880, Zacherl left the company to his son John Evangelist. The factory in Unterd bling was rebuilt between 1888 and 1892 to produce insecticide. The street facing administrative wing of the building, which was designed by Karl Mayreder , is a rare example of commercially motivated Orientalism in European architecture. The Yenidze cigarette factory in Dresden is another example of this trend. The ceramic tiles that were used in the facade and on the roof of the Zacherl factory were produced by the Wienerberger AG. Johann Evangelist Zacherl expanded the Zacherl company s activities from the production of insecticide to include the cleaning, repair and storage of fur and rugs. Between 1903 and 1905, he built the Zacherlhaus at the Wildpretmarkt. Following World War I , sales of insecticide were stunted by expensive import taxes and the growth of chemical industries. After Johann Evangelist Zacherl s death in 1936, his son Gregor Zacherl took control of the family factory, which from 1933 also produced ski binding s, but in 1949 Gregor Zacherl surrendered his merchant s licence. He died in 1954 and the name Zacherl was deleted from the register of companies in 1958. The factory building and its gardens ... more details
