Rodent Awareness Week 2026

October 18–24, 2026

The Professional Pest Management Alliance (PPMA) is encouraging pest management professionals across the country to use Rodent Awareness Week to educate consumers about seasonal rodent risks and reinforce the importance of professional pest management.

As fall weather pushes rodents indoors, this is a timely opportunity for WSPMA members to connect with customers and their communities about rodent prevention, warning signs, health and property concerns, and when to contact a qualified pest management professional.

Why It Matters

According to an NPMA survey conducted online by The Harris Poll, only 40% of Americans reported taking preventive measures to keep rodents out of their homes. Rodent Awareness Week gives pest management professionals an opportunity to help close that knowledge gap with practical, credible information.

How Your Company Can Participate

  • Share seasonal rodent prevention tips, warning signs and educational content with customers and on social media using #RodentAwarenessWeek.
  • Engage with and share industry content from PestWorld social media channels throughout the week.
  • Direct customers to PPMA's consumer education resources, including Out of Sight, What Grows There? and Rodents Revealed.
  • Mainframe subscribers can access the 2026 Rodent Awareness Week Toolkit, featuring customizable social posts, a press release, infographics, images, videos and other marketing materials.

Amplify the Industry's Message

WSPMA encourages members to take advantage of Rodent Awareness Week as an opportunity to educate customers and highlight the important role pest management professionals play in protecting homes and businesses.

Companies can also follow and share content from @PestWorld on Facebook, TikTok, Pinterest and YouTube, and @PestWorldOfficial on Instagram.
