Identifies top 10 U.S. cities with heightened vector pest pressure this summer
The Professional Pest Management Alliance (PPMA), which serves as the consumer education and public outreach arm of the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), released its new summer Vector Sectors™ list of the top 10 U.S. cities that are at greater risk for increased pest pressure from vector pests, focusing predominantly on tick and mosquito activity. PPMA is working to make the consumer connection between pest control and public health by calling attention to vector pests and their ability to transmit pathogens such as Lyme disease and West Nile virus to humans through their bites.
