 News From NationalIn an effort to enhance our understanding of the pest management industry, NPMA and PCT Magazine have teamed up for the third year in a row to conduct an industry-wide survey of the structural pest control market. Made possible through the generous support of BASF, this survey gathered responses from 1,212 participants from across the country to gather opinions of pest management professionals in the United States and Canada regarding where the market is heading.
Conducted during the closing months of 2016, this 33-question survey was finalized with a ±2.6 percentage margin of error at the 95% confidence level. The executive summary exploring the survey results in depth has been published in the January 2017 issue of PCT as the cover story, complete with analysis and interviews from industry experts. Additionally, NPMA has made available the complete 88 page report and full results free of charge to its member companies on our website.
A special session conducted by Dan Moreland, publisher of PCT, will be hosted at the 2017 NPMA Legislative Day to present the results and offer analysis to those in attendance. Make sure to join us on Monday, March 13 from 8am – 9am to participate. Click here for more details and to register for Legislative Day.
