The Professional Pest Management Alliance (PPMA), the consumer marketing arm of NPMA, released its latest video series Do Not Disturb which showcases just how easy it is to accidentally disturb stinging or biting insects. Do Not Disturb was created to show that insect bites and stings can be more than just a nuisance. These pests can swarm an individual and cause serious health effects, so PPMA wants to ensure the public is well-equipped to avoid them and will call a pro if they find a nest on their property. Be sure to catch all the action by tuning in on donotdisturb.pestworld.org.
