Our mission as an Association of Pest Management firms is to communicate the role of our industry as protectors of food, health, property, and the environment, and affect the success of our members through education and advocacy.

For over 65 years, the NPMA has represented the interests of its members and the structural pest control industry. Through the efforts of NPMA, the pest control industry is stronger, more professional, and more unified. The NPMA has guided its members and the industry through legislative and regulatory initiatives on the federal and state levels, the creation of verifiable training, the changing technologies used by the industry, and public and media relations. From its beginning in 1933, the NPMA has been a clear, consistently positive voice for the industry, a voice that is respected and listened to.

The major reason for NPMA's growth and success is that its members have the opportunity to network and share ideas. At each meeting, at each workshop, at each regional conference and national meeting and trade show, members talk to each other and share ideas and expertise. In sharing, they grow and prosper and are better prepared to serve their customers.

The values which the founders in 1933 shared are still embraced today as membership of NPMA exceeds 4,600 companies from the United States and other countries.

Headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia, just outside of Washington, DC, the association today has a professional staff including technical, regulatory, government affairs, education, and member services.
