Whether it’s ants, termites, spiders, fleas, bed bugs or rodents, pest professionals help prevent pests from spreading disease, destroying homes and property and contaminating food. This April, Sprague Pest Solutions is proud to observe National Pest Management Month, which is formally recognized each year by the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). The observance recognizes the pest management industry’s contribution to society in protecting food, health and property from the harm and destruction of pests and the safe use of pest management products.
“Working in an industry that is constantly evolving to combat different pests each year is a challenge,” says Carrie Thibodeaux, Sprague’s Client Experience Director. “National Pest Management Month provides an opportunity to recognize our pest professionals for the important work that they do to keep our communities healthy and safe.”
National Pest Management Month has been recognized for more than 30 years and goes beyond saluting an industry to increasing public awareness about the serious threats pests can pose and the invested dedication pest management professionals have in protecting against such threats.
“In honor of National Pest Management Month, Sprague Pest Solutions is reminding our clients to take time this month to pest-proof their homes and businesses,” says Jeff Weier, Technical Director. “Simple steps like sealing cracks around the outside of your home or business, trimming branches and shrubbery away from the structure and reducing areas of moisture indoors can go a long way to help prevent pest problems. Business managers and homeowners should contact a pest professional if a pest infestation is suspected.”
