RATIONALE
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 and 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 should 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 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.
Hence, 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 the emphasis on protecting the present human lifestyle and his mobility in urban areas. In addition, knowledge on the different urban pest control and enviro-related technologies that are locally available but proven effective against common urban pests and alternative fuels for use in the food industry and support “Buy Filipino-Made Products, Buy Local” shall also be given importance.
