Did you know pest control is considered one of the most important factors in world health and standard of living?
In fact, public health officials attribute our lengthening lifespan to 3 factors: pharmaceuticals, sanitation practices and pest control.
Let’s take a couple minutes to talk about how pest control has significantly contributed to the world.
Pest control is recognized as an important contribution to public health by the World Health Organization stating,
"Pesticides have numerous beneficial effects. These include crop protection, preservation of food and materials and prevention of vector-borne diseases.”
And the CDC emphasizes the importance of mosquito spraying.
Because modern society places much importance on hygiene which has led to the growth of pest control science and therefore helped develop a higher standard of living.
Some of the specific ways in which pest control benefits our society are:
• Pest control has reduced crop loss due to pest infestations, increasing food supply, safety, and shelf life. These advances have allowed us to feed a larger population and transport food to support large geographic areas.
• The eradication of cockroaches has been vital to the prevention of food contamination and the spread of diseases such as streptococcus, molds, and salmonella.
• Mosquito control reduces the number of reports and deaths due to West Nile Virus, Malaria, Dengue, and more..
• Termites cause an estimated $5 billion in property damage each year in the US - imagine how much higher and devastating this would be if no had access to professional termite control services.
• Life expectancy has almost doubled in the United States from 49 years in 1900 to 78 years in 2010, which health professionals attribute to 3 factors: pharmaceuticals, sanitation practices and pest control.
Pest management continues to improve living conditions as we work to innovate our best practices and treatments.
This industry is dedicated to making a difference in the lives of each individual customer who calls us for help, and the greater world.
