VPMA will be co-hosting a joint dinner with the Maryland State Pest Control Association during the NPMA Legislative Day event being held March 9 – 11 at the Capital Hilton in Washington, DC. If you are attending Legislative Day, we invite you to join us for dinner on Monday, March 10th at 7:00 pm at the Equinox on 19th Restaurant. If you have not attended before, Legislative Day is such a great event and a very impactful event! It is our opportunity to take our industry’s message directly to our representatives. We learn about key legislation and messaging on Monday and then walk to appointments on the Hill on Tuesday. Nobody goes it alone – we go as a group. If we don’t deliver the message, who will? It is so important. Please join us. There is strength in numbers, plus it is fun! Join us for dinner on Monday, then walk with us to Capitol Hill on Monday - we hope to have two large delegations from Virginia and Maryland this year!

Springtime is Termite Time - Get WDI Certified - Get WDI Recertified
The VPMA Certified WDI Inspector Program prepares pest professionals to perform consistent, thorough inspections that their customers can truly rely on. Since termites and most other wood-destroying insects are generally hidden from view, it takes a trained professional to carefully detect conducive conditions, to know the habits and patterns of each insect, and to pinpoint signs of infestations. Sending a technician out to perform WDI Inspections without this training can lead to missed signs of infestations, inaccurate reports, and big headaches for your company. Developed in 2000, this course has certified over 2,000 inspectors since its inception. The WDI Inspector Certification Course reviews pest identification biology and behavior (there are self-study requirements), discusses construction techniques and other conducive conditions, defines what a thorough inspection involves, leads technicians in discussions surrounding the nuances and gray areas of conducting WDI Inspections, and provides step-by-step detail about completing the NPMA-33. Each VPMA Certified Inspector is classroom trained and then tested to ensure that they are equipped with the knowledge and ability to conduct accurate termite reports. Become a VPMA Certified WDI Inspector at one of the upcoming training events or maintain your certification if you have already earned this voluntary designation.
