Xiamen pest control company toxic pesticide investigation

Overview

Xiamen Lulinssen Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. is under investigation for using dichlorvos, a highly toxic organophosphate pesticide, during disinfection and pest control services. Initial reports focused on the company providing services to dozens of chain restaurants, including brands such as Green Tea and Chinae, where employees reportedly decanted the pesticide into unlabeled water bottles to bypass regulations and reduce costs.

As the investigation progressed, the scope of the company’s activities was found to be broader, extending to cinemas, maternity centers, and hotels. It was revealed that the company served over 300 restaurants in a single month, performing disinfection at nearly 10 locations per day.

Authorities in Xiamen, Shenzhen, and Chongqing have launched investigations. While the company has stated that reports are untrue and expressed a willingness to cooperate, the incident has caused significant public concern regarding the safety of public spaces and regulatory oversight.
