Why PestMed 2024 Matters

The pest control landscape is evolving rapidly. From new regulations to smarter, more eco-friendly products, staying informed is key. PestMed brings together manufacturers, distributors, and practitioners under one roof. You’ll find everything from rodenticides and insecticides to bird deterrent systems and pheromone-based monitoring tools.

For those dealing with stubborn raccoon infestations, don’t miss our booth where we’ll showcase the best poison for raccoons—a block bait that’s gaining popularity for its exceptional palatability and effectiveness. Our experts will be on hand to explain how it works and why it’s a game-changer for outdoor pest control.

What to Expect at Our Stand

Visit us at stands A30-B31 to see our full range of products. Here’s a quick preview:

• Rodenticide blocks – high-appetite baits that deliver results fast.
• Insecticides – tailored solutions for ants, cockroaches, flies, and more.
• Dispensers and traps – designed for easy, safe deployment.
• Bird control systems – nets, electrified tracks, and wire systems for pigeon and seagull management.

Our team will help you match the right product to your specific pest problem. Whether you need a quick fix or a long-term integrated pest management (IPM) plan, we’ve got you covered.

Expert Insights: Pheromones and Sexual Confusion

Curious about non-toxic pest control? Our partner Russell IPM, a global leader in sustainable pest solutions, will be at our booth on Wednesday, February 28 (all day) and Thursday morning, February 29. Their specialists will explain how pheromone-based monitoring and mating disruption (sexual confusion) can reduce chemical use while keeping pest populations in check. With over 30 years of R&D, Russell IPM offers cutting-edge tools for agriculture, storage facilities, and urban environments.

If you’re looking to expand your service offerings into bird control, we’ve got a dedicated section for that too. Bird management is a growing niche, and our stand will feature hands-on demos and expert advice.
