Descriptiontext

The National Pest Management Association (NPMA) is a non-profit trade association founded in 1933 and headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia, representing the U.S. pest management industry. It serves over 4,000 member companies — ranging from small operators to national brands such as Rollins (Orkin), Rentokil Terminix, and Arrow Exterminators — alongside nearly 5,000 individual members. NPMA delivers industry advocacy at federal, state, and local levels (including pesticide preemption defense), standardized forms (NPMA-33, 99A, 99B) recognized by HUD/FHA/VA, and a portfolio of certification, training, and research products.

Its core product surface spans the NPMA PRO individual certification and QualityPro company accreditation programs, the Online Learning Center with courses priced $20-$300 (free for some, member rates ~50% of non-member), the NPMA Field Guide App, NPMAForms.com digital platform, and BugStore retail. Content products include the bimonthly PestWorld Magazine, Pestology technical blog, monthly BugBytes podcast, and forecasting tools — the seasonal Bug Barometer and the newer Public Health Pest Index covering 10 U.S. metro areas. Through the Professional Pest Management Alliance (PPMA), founded in 1997, NPMA runs consumer demand-generation campaigns that produced 1.6+ billion impressions in 2024 at a $1.18 CPM (vs. $5-7 industry average) and a $32 return per marketing dollar invested.

Revenue derives from membership dues, training and certification fees, Alliance investor contributions structured as percentages of member company revenue (Contributor 0.00025% to Guardian 0.001% with $1,500 minimums, plus flat-rate Champion/Mainframe tiers), event registrations (PestWorld annual conference with 3,500+ attendees), and BugStore product sales. Strategic technology partners include WorkWave (PestPac), FieldRoutes, Syngenta, BASF, Corteva, MGK, and Envu. Dominique Stumpf, CAE, serves as CEO, and Dr. Jim Fredericks, BCE, leads PPMA as Executive Director.
