FAIRFAX, Va. — The National Pest Management Association has answered a request by the Haitian Minister of Environment to provide professional pest management services in Haiti.
NPMA delegates have traveled to Haiti for a two-day mission to assess current pest issues and potential infestation risk factors. According to sources on the ground in Haiti, Port-au-Prince and its surrounding areas are overrun with pests in the aftermath of the January earthquake.
Haiti has requested that NPMA treat severe infestations of flies, rodents and cockroaches found in the camps and medical facilities. Upon their return, the NPMA team will review their findings and create an action plan that will be executed over the coming months.
