The swarm around the garbage can in the tent camp of Corail Cesselesse, north of Haiti’s capital, was not the usual composition of flies or mosquitoes. “Six different kinds of flies,” said Terminix’s Robert Young.

Mr. Young is one of a 14-member international relief delegation of the National Pest Management Association and a volunteer fact-finder trying to figure out the best way to control pests in post-earthquake refugee camps and stop the spread of disease.

Wearing blue, long-sleeved shirts and work boots, the men buzzed around Haiti’s drainage ditches, stagnant water, and piles of garbage to determine what sort of creatures were thriving and what they could do to reduce their numbers.

I also want to mention that Terry Clark of Clark’s Pest Control from California  has been blogging, facebooking and twittering on this very important charity work. See there blog  here: http://blog.clarkpest.com/   Thanks for all your work.
