 In honor of National Pest Management Month, we’d like to thank the pest control professionals who help keep our customers protected from the threat of pests! Pest control is not a do-it-yourself task. The role of pest control professionals is to use their knowledge and expertise to identify and eradicate an infestation. If you suspect an infestation, don’t hesitate to contact the pest control professionals in your area.
 Presented by NPMA's Leadership Networking Community, the NPMA Gives Award recognizes NPMA member companies that have showcased commitment to their communities through their dedication and participation to community service projects. Applications close May 1.
NPMA is circulating a letter that will be sent to Congress supporting H.R. 7266 and asking members of the House to cosponsor the bill. We have extended the deadline until Friday, April 29th. The letter is open to any national or state association in support of the bill, and so far, NPMA has collected a good number of both, including over half of the state associations in the pest management industry. If your national or state association is interested in supporting the bill and would like to sign on, please contact Michelle Moore at mmoore@pestworld.org by Friday, April 29th.
 NPMA announced today the recipients of the inaugural NPMA Impact Awards for Women in Pest Management.
