\n\u201cAs a company, we\u2019ve always worked to advance the awareness and understanding of insects,\u201d said Valerie Middleton, senior director of Communications for Terminix. \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to relaunch Harry\u2019s Big Adventure, providing teachers, parents and students in the neighborhoods and communities we serve, with free access to knowledge, resources and support for interactive learning.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nSince many students are still learning virtually during the COVID-19 pandemic, Terminix revived its program in a way that brings bug education into classrooms through virtual platforms. For the virtual classroom visits and online education tools, Terminix is leveraging both its in-house team of technical experts as well as professional educators from the world-renowned Audubon Nature Institute.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAudubon Nature Institute is excited to partner with Terminix to revive Harry\u2019s Big Adventure and inspire a new generation to make a positive impact on the natural world,\u201d said Audubon Nature Institute President and CEO Ron Forman. \u201cInsects are some of the most important and least understood organisms on our planet, and our team of expert entomologists can\u2019t wait to bring their fascinating world directly into K-6 classrooms through interactive virtual programming made possible by the generous support from Terminix.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nTerminix entomology experts are equally dedicated to providing students and children with entomology education.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cInsects and arachnids are only pests when they are entering our homes and businesses or causing damage,\u201d said Dan Baldwin, director of Technical, Training, and Regulatory Services for Terminix. \u201cOtherwise, they play an integral part in the health of our ecosystem, so educating children about them is a critical component of understanding our world.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
