Dan Meek, Bayer ES Termite Market Manager, Retires

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. — Bayer Environmental Science has announced that Dan Meek, termite market manager for its Professional Pest Management business, has retired.

Meek has nearly 30 years of experience in sales and marketing for the pest, crop and garden industries. He has been involved with Bayer’s termite market business, including sales and development of its flagship non-repellent termiticide, Premise Termite Control, since the product's development.

"I leave behind not only many fine colleagues, but also close friends at Bayer and throughout the industry," Meek said. "I will always look back fondly on the many experiences at the company that allowed me to be successful, and the people who helped me along the way."

Meek received a bachelor’s degree in agronomy from Northeast Missouri State University (now Truman University). He accepted a sales position just before graduating, and has been with Bayer in a variety of capacities throughout the duration of his nearly 30-year career. He is recognized throughout the industry as not only an expert in termite control, but a dependable friend and colleague. His peers have continually depended on him to evolve with innovation throughout the past three decades, as evidenced by his success at the helm of Bayer's termite products.

"On behalf of the entire marketing team at Bayer, I want to express heartfelt congratulations to Dan," says Pete Farno, director of marketing for Bayer’s Professional Pest Management business. "His legacy will be that of a trusted friend and colleague, and the professional pest management team and the industry as a whole will miss his contributions."
