Bee Pest Notes

The Pest Management Foundation has announced the establishment of two new scholarships: The Masters Talents Scholarship, established by Kevin and Kimberly Lemasters, and the Gary D. Curl and Carol Jones-Curl Scholarship, established Gary Curl and Carol Jones-Curl.

World Pest Day serves as an opportunity to raise awareness about the vital role of professional pest management in addressing pest-related challenges. It showcases the dedication and expertise of pest management professionals in ensuring a safe, pest-free environment for individuals, communities, and industries worldwide.

These standards detail a system that can be used to ensure pest management professionals around the world are prepared to do their important work through training, experience, and the support of an employer that must also meet certain criteria.

IPCA has two upcoming webinars on July 31, 2026, and October 9, 2026.

Foundation scholarships represent a commitment to the development of the next generation of pest management professionals through the support of students pursuing higher education and to those parents and families working in the field.
