Joining PPMA as a Supplier company is Rockwell Labs LTD of Kansas City, MO.  

"None of PPMA's consumer marketing and awareness programs would be possible without the leadership and support of our investor companies," said PPMA Executive Director Jim Fredericks. "Our mission is clear: to strengthen the professional pest control industry while showing consumers the important role pest professionals have in protecting health and property. On behalf of our board of directors, we're grateful to these companies for supporting our work and joining us in growing the industry." 

As PPMA investors, these pest control companies are showing their support of the organization’s efforts to elevate the industry through ongoing educational programming inclusive of consumer and commercial media relations, award-winning public service announcements, robust digital advertising campaigns, social media efforts and more.  

PPMA investors also gain access to Mainframe, an online digital marketing agency exclusive to investors.
