I'm the Vice President of Public Relations & Corporate Communications at Rollins - the parent company of Orkin. Ever since Orkin became the founding sponsor of the O. Orkin Insect Zoo in 1993, people have asked why in world we sponsor the exhibit, since they think all we do is kill bugs. In fact, we LOVE insects - they are fascinating creatures, and the world could not survive without them. They're only pests when jeopardize your health or your property. We have lots of educational programs about insects, and if you're interested, you can find them at www.orkin.com in the learning center tab. Glad you enjoyed the O. Orkin Insect Zoo and all the terrific exhibits at the Smithsonian! Martha Craft
