GPCA Launches Buggateer’s Club

NORCROSS, Ga – In an ongoing effort to educate the public about insects and professional pest control, the Georgia Pest Control Association has just introduced a new children’s program to the state’s public schools. Entitled, The Buggateer’s Club, the program was designed for Kindergarten through Second Grade and includes information and photos of insects and explains the role professional pest management plays in our health and safety. GPCA members Danny Nix of Arrow Exterminating, Eunice Hall of DowAgroScience, Jim Chase of Terminix, Robert Grizzard of T.Y. Gibson Pest Control and Julie Ramirez of Forsyth Exterminating wrote the program with Julie Ramirez providing title art work for the presentation.

“We feel this type of program presents the message that the professional pest control industry protects the health and property of Georgia citizens,” explains Danny Nix of GPCA’s PR Committee.

Schools interested in having the program presented contact GPCA who coordinates the program using members of GPCA to present the program. After the presentation, each child receives a coloring book provided by the GPCA Guardian program, a certificate and a spider ring.
