Why he started Frontier
Most pest control in Pakistan is done by guesswork: the same spray for every problem, often too much chemical and no follow-up. Frontier brings the methods used in international public health programmes to homes, schools, hospitals and businesses in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa: identify the pest first, use the right product at the right dose, and check the result.
