Why Pestaurant?
The aim of this event is to encourage you to be more adventurous with your food and promoting the health benefits of an insect rich diet already enjoyed by billions across the globe.
Eating insects (Entomophagy) is recognized by the UN as a viable food source. Eating insects can enrich your diet with higher levels of protein as well as zinc and calcium. What’s more, insects are low in fat - so why not indulge! Did you know that crickets can contain up to 25g of protein per 100g? Now, that alone is a reason to join our insect eating challenge!
Edible Insects and Insect Awareness
The aim of Rentokil’s Pestaurant is to raise your awareness of common pest problems and demonstrate our commitment to professional pest control and innovation, helping us to stay one step ahead of the natural evolution of pests. Our team of experts will be available to offer valuable advice and top tips on how to avoid a pest infestation in your home or at work, and answer any of your pest related concerns.
