Last week NPMA submitted comments on EPA’s Draft Biological Evaluation of Rodenticides. In our comments, we addressed new proposals to limit bait station placement, require carcass retrieval for SGARs, and limit use at times and in areas where secondary consumers may be exposed. Review NPMA’s comments.

The Professional Pest Management Alliance (PPMA), the group responsible for marketing professional pest control to consumer audiences, is leading the charge to help inform Americans of the health and property threats posed by pests and the need to work 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 December 2023 media highlights. As a result of PPMA’s ongoing efforts, the industry was featured on MarthaStewart.com in an article discussing types of spiders, how to get rid of them, and how to prevent them. The team also secured key bed bug coverage with The Weather Channel.  

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.
