The pest control industry and professionals in the country have key role to play to minimize impact on environment as well as help government in public health management by controlling various disease spread by pests including malaria and dengue.

“India, being a populous country, was vulnerable to diseases spread by pests and controlling the menace can greatly help in maintaining public health.

The pest control industry in the country should use Eco-friendly effective pest control methods to deal with these growing problems” said Mr H S Vyas former president and senior most member of Indian Pest Control Association (IPCA) while inaugurating the Two day conference ‘Indiapest2018’ being organised by the Indian Pest Control Association (IPCA) the apex national body of pest control services companies here today .

They are used for crop protection and are found to be benign for both humans and the environment.
