We were proud to represent the pest management industry this week in Harrisburg, meeting with state legislators to discuss the vital role our industry plays in protecting public health, food safety, and property across the Commonwealth.

From preventing the spread of disease to safeguarding homes and businesses, professional pest management is an essential service that often operates behind the scenes—but delivers critical impact every day.

During our visit, we were honored to support the introduction of House Resolution 478, officially designating April 29th as Professional Pest Management Appreciation Day in Pennsylvania.
This recognition highlights the dedication, expertise, and professionalism of pest management professionals across the state who work tirelessly to protect our communities.

We thank our legislators for their time, engagement, and support of our industry. We look forward to continuing the conversation and advancing initiatives that promote safety, education, and environmental responsibility.
