Included in June PCT was the feature story “Making a Difference,” which recounted Terminix Service’s John Dunbar’s recent trip to Kenya, Africa. Dunbar used his pest management skills and expertise to help an African village protect itself from Musca sorbens, a regional fly that is a vector for trachoma disease — an infectious eye disease that is a leading cause of blindness and is especially prevalent in Kenya. Below are additional photos from Dunbar’s trip.
