History Behind the Day

The inaugural World Pest Day ceremony was held at the Beijing Hotel on June 6, 2017.

The day was established to highlight the significance of pest control in safeguarding public health and the environment. 

Did You Know❓

  • Pests are organisms that spread diseases, cause destruction, or constitute a nuisance. Common pests include ants, rodents, termites, cockroaches, mosquitoes, and bed bugs. 
  • Flies taste with their feet. A fly’s taste receptors, called chemoreceptors, are located in their feet.
  • Cockroaches have been around for over 200 million years. They lived during the Jurassic period.
  • Raccoons have hands with five fingers, which are nimble enough to unlace shoes.
  • Mosquitoes are attracted to the odor given off by sweaty feet and socks.
  • Scorpions give birth to their babies alive rather than laying eggs.
