Tampa Bay

RISE is taking the market by swarm, helping Tampa residents understand more about proper pest control and lawn care management. You can "debug the myths" about pesticide and fertilizer product use at our giant, bug-wrapped RV. There will be interactive opportunities for both kids and adults to engage in, including starring in your very own "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" moment by taking a picture in front of a green screen and choosing a fun background for your image. Or finding out what invasive pest matches your personality by taking our "What Pest Are You?" quiz.

After joining the fun, revisit the web site to watch video and view images. And, follow all of our adventures by tracking the RV and reading our blog.

Take Me Out to the Ballgame: Well-maintained turfgrass keeps both professional and child athletes safe on the field. Look for the RV and learn more before or after the Toronto Blue Jays spring training game at Dunedin Stadium on Thursday, March 18. The fun starts at 11 a.m.

Picture Perfect Home and Garden: Did you know proper landscaping can increase your property value? Or that a pest infestation could damage your home and put your family’s health at risk? Stop by our giant, bug-wrapped RV at Florida's Largest Home and Garden Show at the Florida State Fair Grounds to learn more about how pest control and plant health management helps you protect your real estate investment. And, while you’re there, take a picture in a bug's world and learn what "pest" is closest to your personality.
