Terminix Reorganizes Technical Services Team

MEMPHIS, Tenn.  – Stan Cope, Ph.D., Terminix’s director of entomology and regulatory services, had his position eliminated in December as part of a Terminix reorganization.

Cope came to Terminix in 2012 after having served as director of the Armed Forces Pest Management Board in Washington D.C., where he was responsible for all aspects of mosquito control and pest management for the U.S. Department of Defense.

In addition to serving as Terminix’s in-house entomology resource and a media spokesperson, Cope was involved in the 2014 nationwide roll out of Terminix’s mosquito control program, which uses a new, patented mosquito control technology called ATSB (Attractive Targeted Sugar Bait). ATSB is an environmentally friendly solution that contains sugar from fruit extracts and microencapsulated garlic oil.

A Terminix spokesperson said Cope’s position has not been filled but that the company is in the process of reorganizing its technical services team under Marty Wick, who was named chief operating officer of Terminix in 2016.

Cope said he is pursuing other opportunities in the pest control industry. He can be reached at 847/964-3353 or via email at Secope29@gmail.com.
