World Pest Day Spreads Message of Global Health Protection

 

Following this year’s theme “One World – Protecting Global Public Health through Professional Pest Management” the GPMC has put together a free virtual program that includes messages from Coalition members from around the globe as well as a lineup of programming that includes:

 

• Recognizing the True Value of Pest Management

Chow Yang Lee, University of California

• Mosquito Management on a Global Scale

Gene White, BCE, Global Director of Vector Management, Rentokil-Initial

• Impacts of Rodent Infestations on Public Health and Food Supplies

The GPMC has also provided a toolkit, courtesy of the Professional Pest Management Alliance (PPMA). This toolkit contains promotional materials that individuals and organizations can utilize to support World Pest Day. The Coalition also thanks Orkin for their ongoing support of World Pest Day.

 

The toolkit of resources and virtual program can be found at the Coalition’s World Pest Day site: www.pestmanagementcoalition.org/worldpestday.
