The Chicago Bug Girl
Who is The Bug Girl?
Janelle Iaccino is Rose Pest Solutions’ Marketing Director. She’s a familiar voice (and laugh) on WGN Radio, and is the creative force behind Rose’s advertising, branding, outreach and more. With 19 years in the pest industry, Janelle’s passion for public health and environmental science education has earned her a memorable reputation.
Home Sweet Home Chicago on WGN Radio
On Saturday mornings, Janelle joins David Hochberg and friends on WGN 720AM Radio to take questions from listeners about various seasonal topics. Since 2012, she has helped countless home and business owners solve and prevent pest problems. This network of professionals has been a solid resource for folks in Chicagoland and beyond for many, many years.
Public Health Educator
Janelle is the fearless leader of the historic companies’ marketing team, also known as the Bug Squad. This team of three is on a mission to educate, engage, and empower all walks of life with environmental science! One of their passions is to encourage young women to pursue careers in science! Did you know that in the pest management industry, only 4% of employees are women?! By encouraging girls to pursue STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) they believe that they can change those statistics for a better future together.
