Recently, the Association has sent a mailing to all pest control companies in the commonwealth, our current members included. If you've already submitted your membership renewal, feel free to disregard the letter. If you haven't please consider it a reminder!

We'd love to hear how you and your business is doing during the pandemic. If you have a story to share, please let us know! We are looking for the best ways to deliver technical education and will be reaching out to Penn State and others to support this effort.
