For more than thirty years, the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) has declared the month of April, to be National Pest Management Month. In this month, pest control industry professionals are honored for their important role, in protecting America's health and property; from significant pest control threats.
This year, the VP of Public Affairs for the NPMA said that "... the NPMA is dedicated to raising public awareness about the risks posed by household pests, and encouraging homeowners to take proactive steps to prevent pest infestations; in their homes and properties.” This focus was echoed by the Executive Director of Professional Pest Management Alliance (PPMA), when she said that, “If consumers are educated about these risks, they are much more likely to realize the importance of working with a professional to protect their family, home and property.”
The goal of the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) is to encourage understanding about the threat that common pest control problems, such as termites, rodents and carpenter ants, can pose to American homes and property. As well, there are other pests, like ticks, mosquitoes, cockroaches and some stinging insects, that can carry sickness or disease; and pose a serious health threat to humans.
Educating the public about the dangers associated with some common pests, will help people understand the danger that termites, rodents and cockroaches (to name a few) pose to their home, their family and local pest control services staff.
