PGM & SON Pest Control Advocates Collaborative Action for Public Health in the Wake of BPCA's Zoonotic Diseases Report
BPCA's thorough assessment of the impact of pest management on Lyme disease and leptospirosis during Q3 2023 highlights a pressing need for public health agencies to acknowledge and appreciate the indispensable work carried out by pest professionals.
The urgency of this collaboration is underscored by the potentially life-threatening nature of zoonotic diseases, which are transmitted from animals to humans, often through direct contact.
BPCA urges public health agencies to value and incorporate the expertise of pest management professionals in their initiatives.
Pests such as rats, mice, birds, and ticks have been identified as carriers of these zoonotic diseases in the UK. The BPCA's findings shed light on the critical role that pest management plays in mitigating the risks associated with these diseases, emphasising the need for a united front in addressing these challenges.
As an award-winning company in Herefordshire, PGM & SON Pest Control recognises the gravity of the situation and shares the BPCA's commitment to fostering a closer alliance between our industry and public health bodies. We understand the significant impact that pests can have on public health, and we are dedicated to contributing our expertise to the collaborative efforts aimed at prevention and control.
In the face of these findings, it is imperative that public health agencies recognise the essential work carried out by pest professionals in safeguarding communities from the threats posed by zoonotic diseases.
PGM & SON Pest Control stands ready to actively participate in this collaborative endeavour, reinforcing our shared responsibility for the well-being of the local population.
Together, let us forge a robust alliance, combining our strengths to create a comprehensive strategy that not only addresses the immediate concerns highlighted by the BPCA but also lays the groundwork for a resilient and proactive approach to pest-related public health challenges in the future.
