The 6th June 2017 has been declared World Pest Awareness Day to serve as a reminder of how professional pest management helps protect our quality of life.

Three global pest management associations; The Confederation of European Pest Management Associations (CEPA), the Federation of Asian and Oceania Pest Managers’ Association (FAOPMA) and the @NationalPestManagementAssn (USA), have united in this campaign to create awareness for the important role the professional pest management industry plays in protecting public health and keeping citizens, homes, schools, recreational areas, hotels, food manufacturers, retail companies and others safe, pest and disease-free.

World Pest Awareness Day will be observed every 6th June.

Pest management is an important aspect in society, as common household pests can cause costly damage to property, create food safety issues or allergies and pose significant health threats to humans through disease transmission.

Every day, pest management professionals work to protect people and properties from the potential diseases and damage caused by pests.
