World Pest Day: Safeguarding Public Health through Pest Management Heroes

Call Now For A Free Inspection


Insect IQ is celebrating World Pest Day on June 6th, acknowledging the vital role of pest management in safeguarding public health. This occasion aims to raise awareness about the importance of keeping rodents away from homes and businesses to prevent the spread of diseases like listeria and E. coli, as rodents serve as significant carriers of harmful pathogens.


The celebration of World Pest Day by Insect IQ seeks to redefine the professional image of the pest management industry. Today's pest control professionals go beyond being mere "exterminators." They fulfill multiple roles as inspectors, sanitarians, and environmental protectors, addressing underlying factors, eliminating food and habitat sources, and utilizing targeted treatments. These dedicated professionals are akin to superheroes, defending people's health, homes, and food from the threats posed by pests.


Moreover, Insect IQ's celebration of World Pest Day emphasizes pest management as a scientific and socially responsible practice. Pest control professionals rely on their scientific knowledge of behavior, biology, and effective products to precisely target and treat areas with pest infestations. Their expertise lies in understanding the dietary preferences of rodents, their hiding spots, and employing successful management strategies.



Another important aspect of World Pest Day is shedding light on the dangers posed by pests. Despite their small size, pests, including mice and rats, can cause extensive damage. They spread diseases, contaminate food, gnaw holes in structures, create entry points for other pests, and damage electrical systems.



Pest management professionals (PMPs) are highly trained, educated, and equipped to handle rodent and pest issues. Their knowledge and expertise ensure the safety of individuals against the risks associated with rodents. At VM Products, we take pride in supporting PMPs by providing reliable and durable products for safe and effective rodent control. We greatly appreciate and recognize the heroic efforts of PMPs in keeping customers safe and protected.
