OZIN says searches for insect repellent and control surge amid summer bug spike
Consumer demand for insect-blocking and pest-control products is rising as summer pests spread, interior platform OZIN said on Tuesday. Searches for “bug blocking” over the past three weeks from June 1 to 21 surged 70 percent from the previous comparable period. Searches for pest-related keywords such as “bug repeller” and “bug extermination” also increased. The company also cited emergency pest-control operations by local governments and longer hot, humid weather.
