April is Pest Management Month

April is National Pest Management Month, and we are so excited to spend this month celebrating our great industry and our members in North Carolina!

To honor this month, Governor Roy Cooper has proclaimed that April is National Pest Management Month in North Carolina. Check out the official proclamation here.

Throughout this month, we're honoring our industry by remembering some of our favorite moments on our social media accounts. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram to see these great photos.
