ABOUT PEST MEET 2025

PEST MEET 2025 is the 3rd edition to be held and is organised in conjunction with EXPO CLEAN – the leading exhibition for modern cleaning in Southeast Asia. The co-location creates a dynamic synergy, both events complementing one another.

Why Pest Control and Management is Important
Pest control plays a vital role in maintaining public health, food safety, and property protection—especially in a tropical country like Indonesia, where warm and humid conditions create an ideal environment for pests to thrive year-round.

• Safeguarding Public Health
  Indonesia faces ongoing challenges with vector-borne diseases such as dengue fever, malaria, and leptospirosis, all of which are spread by pests like mosquitoes and rats. Effective pest control reduces the risk of outbreaks and eases the burden on the healthcare system.
• Protecting the Food Industry
  From agriculture to food processing and hospitality, pests pose a serious threat to Indonesia’s food supply chain. Contamination by insects or rodents can lead to significant losses, reputational damage, and even legal consequences. Consistent pest management is crucial to meeting hygiene and export standards.
• Supporting Urban and Industrial Development
  With rapid urbanization and the growth of industrial estates in cities like Jakarta, Surabaya, and Medan, maintaining pest-free environments in residential, commercial, and industrial zones is critical. Infestations can damage infrastructure, equipment, and stored goods.
• Tourism and Hospitality Impact
  As one of Southeast Asia’s top travel destinations, Indonesia must maintain high cleanliness standards across hotels, restaurants, and resorts. Pest issues can quickly spread through online reviews, impacting the tourism sector’s credibility and income.
• Compliance with Health and Safety Regulations
  More Indonesian businesses are now subject to audits and inspections, particularly in sectors like food & beverage, hospitality, and pharmaceuticals. Professional pest control services help companies comply with SNI (Indonesian National Standard), BPOM, and global standards like HACCP.
