It remains a fact that pest control is crucial for a healthy living environment. Most people would have no qualms getting rid of insects and bugs like ants and cockroaches, as they often become a menace. Do we feel remorse after killing them? Well, most would answer in the negative, but a Japanese company specialising in pesticides not only shows remorse for the deaths caused by their products, but even holds a ceremony to honour the deceased insects. An annual ceremony is held by Earth Corporation, a pesticide manufacturing company located in Mowdaji Temple, Eco City, Japan, to honour beetles and ants and to acknowledge their sacrifices made for scientific research. Earth Corporation says that during research for their best products, they experiment on such creatures, which are bred for this very purpose. Insects lose their lives in such experiments. The sacrifice of even the smallest creatures matters for them, so the company holds a prayer vigil in honour of the insects
More than sixty workers from the company took part in the religious leader-led service last month. Images of dead cockroaches, flies, bees, mosquitoes, and other insects were on display during the occasion, along with messages of appreciation for their contributions.
Earth Corporation ranks as the top producer of pesticides in Japan, a standing attained after years of investigation and testing. At its research lab in Eco City, the company studies different kinds of insects to determine the efficacy of its products. Even though some insects do make it alive through these studies, the corporation makes sure contributions of those who do not are recognised by holding a commemoration event and branding the insects .
Earth Corporation is proud of its distinct position as the top producer of insecticides in Japan, helping to eliminate pests with ongoing research and creative product development. The company breeds 10 lakh cockroaches and more than 10 million ticks every year for use in research.
