The Forgotten Front Breaks: Northwest Exterminators Save Lives in a Hidden War In the quiet, mist-covered forests of the Pacific Northwest, a hidden conflict is unfolding—one rarely reported, but deeply vital. While headlines focus on urban crime or coastal storms, a new form of battle rages far from sight: the silent war waged by North America’s forgotten front, where exterminators become unsung heroes. The Invisible Frontline The “forgotten front” refers not to a battlefield with flags and frontlines, but to the vast, remote regions of the Pacific Northwest where urbanization meets wilderness. Here, infestations of invasive species—such as emerald ash borers, bark beetles, or exotic fungi—threaten ecosystems, local economies, and public safety. Most communities lack dedicated extermination teams, leaving them vulnerable to ecological collapse and indirect human risk from weakened natural barriers.
