Industry, universities, and government continue to do research on better ways to solve pest problems. Speculating about a better future, we can expect to see better spatial repellents, pesticides that target particular pests, and repellent products that are easier to use. The difficulty of bringing a new insecticide or repellent to market is a barrier to development that may be at least partially solved by better communication between regulating authorities. One example is presented of an altruistic attempt to bring inexpensive repellents to the poorest of the poor who suffer from dengue and malaria.
