Rapid changes in the urban pest control industry, advances in telecommunications that allow easy access to pest information, and continuous improvements in transportation infrastructures that promote efficient mobility of the people and products from the farms or rural areas to urban centers should be connected to the ideas on sustainable development highlighting environmental and food security issues. 

Human as well as product mobility facilitate the unabated spread of urban pests and pest-borne diseases. The role that pest control plays using green technologies to contain possible pest and disease outbreaks must become the standard in urban pest control particularly with the majority of the population are in the urban centers. Strict audit and quality control procedures which are imposed by customers, the food industry sector including product exporters has to uncompromisingly deal with urban pests, storage pests and rodents that contaminate food in its manufacturing and storage facilities. 

But no matter how important pest control is, it has not been given as equally important to public health, food safety in food manufacturing industry sector and property protection in construction industry and real estate industry sectors. Pest control is contracted only when an infestation or pest problem has already occurred.

Local Government Units must make pest control program a requirement to operate businesses in their respective localities to keep their constitution safe.

Therefore, it is the primary objective of the conference to place pest control in the center on all efforts of food safety, public health, and property protection with emphasis on protecting present human lifestyle and his mobility in urban areas. In addition, knowledge on different urban pest control and enviro-related technologies that are locally available but proven effective against urban pests and alternative fuels for use in food industry and support “Buy Filipino-Made Products, Buy Local” shall also be given importance.

This conference is intended for personnel of food manufacturing, restaurants, supermarkets, markets, malls, hotels and related establishments; officials of government agencies, LGUs, NGOs and POs concerned on food safety, public health and property protection; urban pest control operators and pesticide applicators, entomologists, medical officers and nurses; urban planners, sanitarians, and waste management practitioners; and for public and private academe including students.
