The Professional Pest Management Alliance (PPMA) is leading the charge to help inform Americans of the threats pests pose to both health and home as well as the importance of working with a qualified pest control professional. In its most recent PPMA Update, a monthly newsletter shared with investors and supporters of PPMA, the group shared their November media highlights which included continued discussions of bed bugs. As a result of PPMA’s ongoing efforts, the National Pest Management Association was interviewed by Parade, for an article highlighting bed bugs and professional treatment options. This article was syndicated in over 12 outlets, including Yahoo! Life and News Break.

To learn more about PPMA and its efforts to make pest problems and the solution of professional pest control mainstream news, contact Jim Fredericks jfredericks@pestworld.org.
