WORLD PEST DAY

World pest day aims to:

  • Increase public, government, and media awareness of the important role pest management organizations play in protecting public health
  • Project the professional image of the pest management industry
  • Promote the use of professional pest management in a scientific and socially responsible way
  • Call attention to the big threats caused by small pests.

World Pest Day was initiated in 2017 by the Chinese Pest Control Association and is co-sponsored by the Federation of Asian and Oceania Pest Managers' Association (FAOPMA), the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), and the Confederation of European Pest Management Associations (CEPA).
