Discover Important Information About World Pest Day and Why It Is So Important for Homeowners and Business Owners
Humans have been struggling with pest control for thousands of years. As World Pest Day approaches on June 6, this is a prime time to honor the professionals who protect our homes, businesses, and other structures.
Since 1987, Catseye Pest Control has worked tirelessly to provide exceptional service and innovative solutions to keep people, pets, and properties safe and healthy. Our experience gives us a unique perspective and a wealth of industry knowledge about the issues people face every day.
In honor of World Pest Day 2023, let’s take a closer look at the holiday and its significance.
What Is World Pest Day?
World Pest Day launched on June 6, 2017, when the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) joined other global organizations in sponsoring the holiday. Other participants include the Chinese Pest Control Association, the Federation of Asian and Oceania Pest Managers’ Association, and the Confederation of European Pest Management Associations.
World Pest Day kicked off with a ceremony at the Beijing Hotel. Since then, it has become an essential time to increase awareness and call attention to the threats humanity faces from pests, both large and small. Pest management is essential for maintaining the quality of life for humans, plants, animals, and physical structures.
Why Is Pest Control Important?
Pest management has existed for centuries. The earliest records date as far back as 3000 B.C. when Ancient Egyptians used cats to control rodents. By 2500 B.C., the Ancient Sumerians used the first insecticides: sulfur compounds.
In a span of thousands of years, pest control has come a long way and now does less harm to people, pets, and ecosystems while providing more effective control. In fact, the quality of life that we enjoy today is a direct result of the strides made in effective pest control. Pest management affects everything from crops and agriculture to people and pets. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices, which combine prevention and treatment, aim to minimize the risks and hazards for people and the environment.
Many people are tempted to try DIY practices when experiencing pests or nuisance wildlife in their homes or businesses. However, professionals have what it takes for long-term success. Benefits of professional pest control include:
Professionals Minimize Your Risk
Pests can be dangerous. Insects, rodents, and nuisance wildlife can carry infectious diseases like West Nile virus, Lyme disease, hantavirus, and rabies. Coming into contact with saliva, urine, or droppings can expose you to contagions. Additionally, rodents and nuisance wildlife may bite or scratch, particularly if they feel threatened. Pest control professionals handle everything, from identification to removal to cleanup to keep you and the people you care about safe.
Prevention Is the Ultimate Control
Professionals assess your unique property and circumstances to see how and why pests and wildlife enter the premises. Proactive services, like bi-monthly visits for inspection and monitoring and exclusion, which seals off entry points, can keep pests under control for good. With professionals on your side, an infestation can be immediately halted before it turns into a large problem.
Professionals Have Education and Equipment
At Catseye, providing the best pest management and customer service is what we do. Our trained, licensed professionals stay on top of all the latest technologies, techniques, and treatments.

Raising Awareness Through Pest Control Services
Pest control services rely on several strategies to manage properties. Chemical treatments are among the most effective methods for eliminating many pests, but they can be dangerous when handled incorrectly. Monitoring and exclusion are other strategies that can help control infestations and prevent future problems.
