Xavier Cugnon of Arrow Exterminators was recognized as The David Cooksey PestVet of the Year at this year's NPMA Legislative Day.
FMC’s Allan Dufoe commented that Cugnon “is a former Marine who's active in supporting his local county program for homeless veterans.”
Cugnon established the Veterans Committee at Arrow Exterminators, which has resulted in numerous charitable programs, including sponsoring Christmases for local families, building handicapped accessible ramps for those in need, yard cleanup at veterans’ homes, and providing pest services for those in desperate situations.
This past Christmas holiday, Cugnon and the Georgia Pest Control Association collected more than 5,000 coats for homeless veterans.
Cugnon has also accelerated Arrow’s efforts to interview veterans for open positions.
The David Cooksey PestVet of the Year Award was created to honor a veteran who has helped strengthen the role of pest management. They are recognized for their outstanding contributions to the industry and to the communities they serve.
