NPMA Launches World Pest Day "Tech Takeover" Campaign

NPMA is also launching an exciting "Tech Takeover" campaign for World Pest Day 2025, inspired by the British Pest Control Association's successful initiative. The campaign aims to showcase the daily work of pest management professionals on social media, putting technicians center stage during World Pest Day week (June 2-6).

The Tech Takeover encourages NPMA member companies to have their technicians create short videos and photos showing them in action, then share this content on company social channels using hashtags #WorldPestDay2025 #TechTakeover #PestManagementPros. This grassroots approach highlights the real heroes of pest management – the technicians who work daily to protect public health in communities across the country.

NPMA is seeking up to five technicians from member companies to be featured on the association's national social media platforms. Interested technicians who work for NPMA member companies and have employer permission can contact Katie Rushin at krushin@pestworld.org to participate in this unique opportunity to represent the profession on a national stage.
