21: The Bug Whisperer: Spreading Pest Knowledge Via Social Media
Episode Overview

When you reach for a can of bug spray, you want it to work fast and wipe out that pest.

But have you ever given thought to what went into making that can of Raid or Sevin or what formulas go into professional pest control applications?

Cassie Krejci, known on social media as “Cassie the Bug Doc," is here to answer that and more as we dive into her work as an entomologist for Rentokil Initial.

Cassie takes us through her journey to stepping out of the labs of academia and moving into an industry where she could make a larger impact on making the world a healthier place.

Join us as we discuss:

  • [4:26] The public health side of being an entomologist

  • [22:10] How gatekeeping pest control information hurts us all

  • [29:12] Why winning on social media is easier if your company has a face
