History
For more than 75 years, the National Pest Management Association
(NPMA) has represented the interests of its members and the
structural pest control industry's commitment to the protection of
public health, food and property.
Through the efforts of NPMA, the pest control industry is
stronger, more professional, and more unified. The NPMA has guided
its members and the pest control industry through the creation of
verifiable training, the changing technologies used by the
industry, and public and media relations. From its beginning in
1933, the NPMA has been a clear, consistently positive voice for
the pest control industry, a voice that is respected and listened
to.
The major reason for NPMA's growth and success is that its
members have the opportunity to network and share ideas. At each
meeting, at each workshop, at each regional conference and national
meeting and trade show, members talk to each other and share ideas
and expertise, learn about new tools and techniques, and discuss
the latest pest issues. In sharing, they grow and prosper and are
better prepared to serve their customers. The opportunities to
network and learn the latest techniques in professional pest
control allow our members to provide qualified and knowledgeable
services to their customers.
The values that the founders in 1933 shared are still embraced
today as membership of NPMA exceeds 7,000 companies from the United
States and other countries.
Headquartered in Fairfax, Va., just outside of Washington, D.C.,
the association today has a professional staff of technical,
regulatory, government affairs, education and member services
committed to the pest management industry.
