These advances have allowed us to feed a larger population and transport food to support large geographic areas. <br />• The eradication of cockroaches has been vital to the prevention of food contamination and the spread of diseases such as streptococcus, molds, and salmonella. <br />• Mosquito control reduces the number of reports and deaths due to West Nile Virus, Malaria, Dengue, and more.. <br />• 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. <br />• 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. <br /> <br />Pest management continues to improve living conditions as we work to innovate our best practices and treatments. <br /> <br />This industry is dedicated to making a difference in the lives of each individual customer who calls us for help, and the greater world.
