Orkin Sponsors Inaugural World Pest Day

ATLANTA Ga. Orkin is sponsoring the inaugural World Pest Day in Beijing, sending representatives to join other professionals from around the world to the event, initiated and hosted by the Chinese Pest Control Association (CPCA). 

World Pest Day brings together representatives from academia, government, trade associations and pest control businesses to exchange best practices, ideas, technologies and advancements in pest management. The event sponsors and attendees aim to raise worldwide awareness of the important role pest management organizations play in protecting public health. It is co-sponsored by the Federation of Asian and Oceania Pest Managers’ Association (FAOPMA), the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), the Confederation of European Pest Management Associations (CEPA) and the World Health Organizations’ Collaborating Center for Vector Surveillance and Management.

“The global pest control industry is on the front lines of helping protect public health, property and the worldwide food supply from the potentially harmful effect of pests,” said Tom Luczynski, who leads Orkin’s international franchising and development programs. “Orkin is excited to participate and help sponsor World Pest Day, so we can shine a light on the role the pest control industry plays in helping improve overall health in the communities and businesses we serve throughout the world.”
