Is it only me that did a double take: "Google" (Technically, it's Alphabet Inc)?

What is a tech company doing in the field of pest control? Are not the big pharmas, the big chemical companies a better fit?

The article states how Verily Life Sciences is a 'unit of Alphabet' and whose mission statement is:

"We are builders. We create tools that put health data into action." ~ https://verily.com/

I did not realise that Alphabet was into everything. No wonder they've been lobbying for military projects...Now I truly understand how distanced they are from their old Google roots.
