June 6, 2019, has been declared World Pest Day, a multinational event established to raise awareness among the public, government, and media about the important role that the pest control industry plays in protecting health, food, property and the environment from pest health threats.
Threats Posed by Pests
Public health officials attribute the heightened quality of life we have today to three things: better pharmaceuticals and vaccines, better sanitation and better pest control.
Although pests might just seem like a household nuisance, they pose significant threats and risks to both people and property. Mosquitoes and ticks can transmit serious and sometimes fatal diseases such as West Nile virus and Lyme disease while home intruders like termites can cause significant property damage over time if left unchecked.
Watch this public service announcement about the subtle symptoms that could be signaling something more serious, like a vector-borne disease or an illness due to bacteria and pathogens transmitted by common household pests.
