The Legislative Issue of PestWorld Magazine Released
The new January–February issue of PestWorld magazine takes a look at the forces shaping the pest management industry—on Capitol Hill, in regulatory agencies, and within the workforce itself. This issue underscores NPMA’s leadership in advocacy, policy, and professional development, while offering practical insights for professionals in the pest mangement industry.
At the center of this issue are three in-depth feature stories that examine some of the most pressing challenges and opportunities facing the industry:
- Driving Positive Policy
New presidential administrations often usher in a wave of regulatory change, sometimes without understanding the impact on industries like professional pest management. Critical advocates like NPMA remain at the center of these conversations, ensuring operators’ voices are heard. - Defending the Tools of the Trade
Rodent control policy is becoming increasingly politicized. This feature examines why collaboration among NPMA, state associations, and industry leaders is essential to preserving access to effective, science-based pest control tools. - A Skills-Gap Solution Hiding in Plain Sight
With workforce challenges persisting, this article explores why military veterans and their spouses—whose skills closely align with pest management roles—may be one of the industry’s strongest untapped recruiting resources.
This issue delivers insights on leadership, growth, and innovation—from advocacy and workforce development to marketing trends, professional credentials, regulatory compliance, and industry leadership.
