The Professional Pest Management Alliance (PPMA), which serves as the consumer marketing and public outreach arm of NPMA, recognizes National Pest Management Month each April to encourage and educate homeowners and businesses about the essential role of professional pest control. Insects and rodents will not abide by social distancing measures, and home and business owners will need help in controlling infestations. PPMA will focus public outreach efforts this month, using tools such as media relations and social media campaigns, to reinforce the essential role of professional pest control and the value of working with a licensed pest control professional. Industry members are encouraged to respectfully devote their social media pages to National Pest Management Month using the hashtag #NPMM in all posts and interactions on social properties this April to join in the special observance.
