Abstract

During recent years, pest control operations (PCO) have been growing rapidly in China. Participation of PCOs is needed in daily pest control services and establishment of hygienic city. Following disasters such as earthquake, land slide, flood, etc., effective epidemic preventions are crucial, which must be launched in a timely manner. PCO companies are passionate in public services and social responsibility, and are experienced in field disinfection and insecticide application. Therefore, PCOs should be encouraged and guided to play a positive role in disease control services in disaster areas.
