Buffalo, New York

RISE’s Debug the Myths is swarming Buffalo, New York to help residents understand the importance of proper pest management practices indoors and outdoors. You can help “debug the myths” by participating in activities with giant, bug-wrapped RV including starring in your very own "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" moment by taking a picture in front of a green screen and choosing a fun background for your image. Or, finding out what invasive pest matches your personality by taking our "What Pest Are You?" quiz. You can also enter to win a Home Depot gift card.

After joining the fun, revisit the web site to watch video and view images. And, follow all of our adventures by tracking the RV and reading our blog.
