Hello, I would like to ask if this term (meaning insect pest control) is known and used in English. It occurs in every second sentence of my text, so I would like to make sure that using it is a good idea. ;) If it isn't, please advice a valid term. Thanks for help!

I don't think disinsection is used in english - it may be a typo for disinfection
