NPMA’s Workforce Development Program has been working to highlight the resiliency of pest control during times of economic uncertainty. Approximately three percent of the general workforce is leaving their jobs each month in search of something new, so communicating to potential job seekers about the benefits of pest control is crucial during this period.
NPMA’s external marketing and digital paid campaigns are focused on building awareness and driving traffic to the exclusive job board for NPMA member companies. The consumer-facing media highlights the significance of pest control in protecting our daily lives. So long as pests continue to pose a threat to our businesses, homes and loved ones, pest control will remain a necessary solution.

Deb Fisher (R-NE) and Sen. John Thune (R-SD), who are both influential members of the Senate Committee on Agriculture.
NPMA staff are also following up on all action items and follow-ups from NPMA members' Legislative Day meetings. Thank you to everyone who filled out our meeting feedback form!
