"As you might imagine, the demand for our products has been tremendous," stated Jim Burt, president of WPC Brands. "Without the assistance of people like Larry Midtbo at I-K-I, Jim Poehling, Sarah McDonald and Mark Fox at U.S. Can, and companies like Summit Packaging Systems, the country may have faced supply interruptions at this most critical juncture. We are grateful for their efforts."
Sales of insect repellents have skyrocketed in recent weeks, with all insect repellent manufacturers reporting significant sales increases. Demand for repellents has manufacturers and suppliers working around the clock to generate the resources necessary to keep stores well stocked. The disease is expected to peak within the next two weeks, heightening the need for the timely delivery of insect protection to all 41 states where West Nile has been reported.
