For five decades, Fumakilla Malaysia has been a silent guardian in homes and cities, battling pests to safeguard public health. As the company approaches their 50th anniversary, the legacy of a company that turned pest control into a science is evident, protecting generations with its innovative solutions.
Beginnings and Growth
Fumakilla Malaysia Berhad began in 1976, bringing decades of global expertise to the Malaysian landscape. While its history might seem shorter than its Japanese predecessor, which originated in 1890, the company has rapidly expanded its footprint and specialized knowledge. Their localized expertise about specific pests has been crucial in solidifying its influence and esteem, not just within Malaysia but also in its impact across the broader Southeast Asian market.
Fumakilla’s continued success reflects its commitment to meeting the diverse needs of the markets it serves.

Unique Approach to Pest Control
“Fumakilla’s continued success reflects its commitment to meeting the diverse needs of the markets it serves,” said Kanji Akai, Managing Director of Fumakilla Malaysia.
“Understanding local conditions and customer needs is key to delivering effective solutions across the region.”
R&D and Innovation
At the core of Fumakilla Malaysia’s innovative approach are its dedicated research and development (R&D) center and entomology center. These state-of-the-art facilities are key in understanding the ecology behind pests specific to Malaysia. This commitment to scientific study has led to the development of practical solutions.
A prime example is the “Vape One Push” product, originally developed in Japan and successfully adapted for the Malaysian market. This innovation kills mosquitoes instantly and provides 12 hours of protection with just one push.
Commitment to Environmental Improvement
Committed to eco-friendly practices, the company has maintained its ISO 14001 certification since 2003. Current initiatives include climate change awareness courses, factory planting, and plastic waste reduction.
The company also uses reusable food containers, thermal reduction roofing, and recycles used cartons while eliminating PVC from all materials and reducing chemicals in its products.
Its future plans include adopting solar energy and transitioning to electric forklifts to further reduce its carbon footprint.
Partnerships and Regional Impact
Fumakilla Malaysia’s impact extends through strategic partnerships, which are crucial for raising public awareness about pervasive diseases like dengue and promoting effective preventive measures. This collaborative strategy supports public health initiatives across Malaysia.
“Thankfully, the Fumakilla and Vape brand has become the No.1 brand in Malaysia since a couple of years ago,” said Akai. This widespread acceptance contributes to raising pest control standards across the ASEAN region.
Looking Ahead: Future Plans and Challenges
As the company looks towards its next 50 years, its vision remains centered on being consumers’ first choice. The company recognizes that consumer needs, and pest challenges, are constantly evolving.
“Fumakilla keeps proposing the best and the most effective solutions,” said Akai, as they continue to function flexibly to meet the dynamic needs of their expansive market reach in Southeast Asia.
Dedication to Excellence
Fumakilla Malaysia’s 50 years of success is a remarkable journey of growth and steadfast dedication to research, innovation, and public health. From its comprehensive R&D efforts to its environmental initiatives and impactful regional partnerships, the company has not only shaped pest control solutions in Malaysia but has also set standards across Southeast Asia. As they embark on their next half-century, their dedication to excellence and protecting lives promises a future free from the dangers of unwanted pests, where generations can continue to thrive.
