How Memberships and Associations Drive the Pest Control Industry

Many professional associations across the country provide resources and opportunities for companies to network, connect, learn, and ultimately help each other scale their businesses.

These groups have opened the doors for underrepresented groups to join the pest control industry and to pursue a professional career where they feel supported and included.

These incredible changes motivated Allie Allen to join the National Pest Management Association, where she focuses on memberships and certifications.

Allen joined host Amanda Salvatore at the Pest in Class booth at Ignite 2024 to share the story of her professional journey, her passion for memberships, and why she thinks more women should enter the pest control industry.
