Kids love bugs - and Anderson Pest Solutions loves kids. So it's only natural that APS would team up with the Kohl Children's Museum in Glenview and the DuPage Children's Museum in Naperville to help kids learn more about the fascinating world of insects.
ANDERSONPESTSOLUTIONS BRINGS GIANT INSECTS TO DUPAGE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM
Elmhurst, Illinois, November 20, 2009
Ever want to get nose-to-nose with a praying mantis? Pet a giant pumpkin millipede as long as your hand? See how far a giant lubber grasshopper can jump? You'll have your chance Tuesday, November 24 at DuPage Children's Museum.
Children will get the opportunity to interact with live insects this Tuesday, November 24, 2009 from 10:00 to noon when Tom Dobrinska and Mark Mayer from Anderson Pest Solutions bring their Insect Zoo to DuPage Children's Museum's Art Studio. This event is free with membership or museum admission.
When people think about pest management companies like Anderson, they tend to think about ants and termites - all the bugs you just want to get out of your house," said Mark O?Hara, President of Anderson. "But our knowledge of the insect world goes far beyond simple household pests. The relationship with the DuPage Children's Museum is a way for us to share some of what we've learned. And, as Tom and Mark will be showing the kids, it's pretty cool stuff."
The Anderson Insect Zoo team will be bringing along some of their unusual insect friends for children to experience up close. "It's great to be able to show the kids some of these really interesting creatures that they wouldn't ordinarily see in this part of the country," said Tom, who added, "Some of the bugs, like the hissing cockroaches or the vinegaroon, may look a little scary at first, but none of them are dangerous."
DuPage Children's Museum helps develop curiosity, creativity, thinking and problem solving in young children via interactive exhibits and programs that make learning fun for children and adults playing together.
The Museum is located at 301 N. Washington Street in Naperville, Illinois, a quick walk from the Naperville Metra train station. Parking is free and the building is wheelchair accessible.
