It's common knowledge that insects are attracted to lights, especially at night. As PMPs, you may be even more familiar with this phenomena, using it against pest insects with technology like insect light traps (ILTs). In a recent study, researchers took this behavior and went to figure out exactly what was going on and why this occurs.

Allison Johnson, a Ph.D. candidate at UGA, seeks assistance in comparing expert termite teeth identifications with personal guesses, engaging participants in an advanced matching game.

SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19, primarily spreads through respiratory droplets. Research indicates that it does not replicate in common mosquitoes or other biting flies. Although the possibility of arthropod transmission isn't fully ruled out, current evidence suggests these insects do not significantly contribute to spreading SARS-CoV-2.

National Pest Management Month is an annual observance in April, organized by the NPMA, aimed at raising awareness about the importance of pest management in maintaining healthy environments.

The Policy Person of the Year Award was created to honor an NPMA member that has gone above and beyond to protect and promote the pest control industry by advocating for our industry’s interests in front of local, state, and/or federal lawmakers.
