Regulatory Update for VPMA Members who do business in North Carolina
There are critical changes that you need to be aware of regarding certification and training for pest control applicators in NC.
The new rules became effective February 1, 2025, however, NCDA&CS has stated that the earliest date of enforcement by their field inspectors will begin on July 1, 2025. The Division will be conducting outreach and training presentations for PMP’s throughout N.C. in the month of May 2025. Their staff will be giving presentations concerning each Rule Revision and we will be available to answer any questions that you may have. Structural G CCUs will be offered for this training.
Important: This is a one-time training requirement to get every CA and Licensee up to the new standards. You must attend one of the in-person training courses or the virtual training.
