Membership Information

Application Form


A unique cooperative effort between the Pennsylvania Pest Management Association and the National Pest Management Association now makes it possible for you to enjoy the membership benefits and privileges of both organizations at a fraction of what it would normally cost. This new arrangement has a single purpose: to help you get the help and information you need more efficiently and less expensively.

Your Voice in Washington... and in Harrisburg

As part of our ongoing effort to help you do your job more efficiently and with fewer regulatory encumbrances, PPMA and NPMA meet with state and federal legislators and regulatory agencies to ensure that your concerns as an individual pest control operator receive the attention and consideration they deserve at both the state and federal levels. Try putting a price tag on this service and you'll discover that it justifies your membership dues all by itself!

Promoting Your Profession

From our industry awareness and "Tell the Pubic" programs to our leadership development projects and ongoing lobby efforts, PPMA and NPMA are passionate and tireless advocates of pest control, pest control company, and your individual interests as a pest control professional.

And when you join, you add the weight of your convictions and professional commitment to that of hundreds of other Pennsylvania PCOs who have already identified PPMA and NPMA as leaders in promoting the pest control industry.

The Annual NPMA Convention:
Your Industry's Premier Event


Once a year, pest management professionals from all over the country gather for our industry's largest and most prestigious event... Pest Management: the annual NPMA Convention.

And, as a PPMA/NPMA member, you and the other employees of your company will receive significant discounts on convention registration fees... discounts that can more than pay for your membership dues!

Monthly Updates on the State of the Art in Pest Management

From insect identification information, regulatory updates and techniques in pest management to sample contracts and management bulletins, our monthly technical releases, management reports and service letters have defined both the technical and the management state of the art in pest control for nearly 50 years. As a PPMA/NPMA member, you'll get dozens of these unique and valuable reports on your desk each year... practical information that you can use yourself or share with other members of your staff.

Your Presence on the World Wide Web

As the first structural pest control association on the Web, NPCA is making pest control information available to both the general public and pest control professionals. And, when you become a PPMA/NPMA member, you will have access to information only available to NPMA members. NPMA will make active use of its new web site to both communication with you and our other member, and to actively promote the many benefits of using pest control professionals to the general public.

Who's Who in Professional Pest Control:
Your One-Of-A-Kind Reference Guide


NPMA's Who's Who in Professional Pest Management/Buyers Guide is your guide to who and where your peers are in the pest control industry. A day-to-day resource designed to help you find answers to your most difficult questions from your professional colleagues and fellow members, Who's Who lists members by company and by state. Who's Who will include an invaluable buyers guide to help you find the products, equipment and services you need to run your business. Best of all, it's free to PPMA/NPMA members.

Information Central: Instant Access

The "Information Central" toll free hotline provides you with instant access to our expert technical department. Developed to give you practical solutions to your most difficult and pressing challenges, "Information Central" provides you with the outside expertise and resources you need to make informed business decisions.

Legislative Day: Grass Roots Pest Control Advocacy

As the organizational rallying point for the entire pest control industry, NPMA sponsors Legislative Day each February in Washington, DC ... an annual opportunity for you and hundreds of your pest management colleagues to discuss industry issues, formulate positions and present them - in person -to your senators and congressional representatives in Washington, DC.

The NPMA Resource Center:
Information You Can Use


From our widely acclaimed NPMA Field Guide to Structural Pests to our consumer oriented pamphlets and brochures to our computer-based introductory tutorial on termite control, the NPMA Resource Center is your leading source for training and education materials... all with a 50 percent discount for PPMA/NPMA members.

Your Source for the Pest Control Industry's Strongest Training and Education

Both PPMA and NPMA have well-deserved reputations as leaders in providing conferences and seminars geared to the specific needs of PCOs. In addition to the outstanding national and regional conferences offered by NPMA, PPMA offers regional workshops and seminars with recertification credits all year throughout the state on the most pressing issues of the day... all at reduced prices for PPMA/NPMA members.

INFOTRAC... Your 24-Hour Emergency Response Service

Our INFOTRAC Chemical Emergency Response System was developed to help you meet stringent U.S. Department of Transportation emergency response information requirements at a small fraction of what this service would cost you as an individual PCO.

Demonstrating and Publicizing Your Company's Commitment

As a PPMA/NPMA member, your company will be entitled to display the member logos of the Pennsylvania Pest Management Association and the National Pest Management Association on your business cards, corporate letterhead, vehicles and advertisements... reinforcing your professional image among both customers and prospective customers.

Personnel Management Consulting Services... Free of Charge

As a PPMA/NPMA member, you'll have the services and expertise of an experienced personnel management consultant at your disposal ... free of charge. Hiring and firing, lawsuits and personnel policies, salary and wage advice. Important, practical information from an expert company in the field at no cost to your company.

Working Together in Common Cause

For you to take advantage of the many opportunities available to you, you need a network of companies, colleagues and vendors who share your interests across the country and around the world.

You need an organization that lives inside your world ... that shares your concerns and aspirations. A group that understands your needs and feels the pulse of the industry to which you've committed your professional life.

And the PPMA/NPMA partnership was forged to provide you with precisely these opportunities.

The Bottom Line: Increase Profits

When you join PPMA and NPMA, you add additional resources to your company's operations... resources that you might not otherwise be able to afford or justify... resources that you can use to increase sales and customer satisfaction, and reduce operational expenses and problems.

In short, you get a large number and wide variety of important tools that you can use to run your business more efficiently, more productively and more profitably.



There has never been a better time to make the commitment.

Decide today to benefit from the combined resources and membership benefits now available from PPMA and NPMA.
