Pest Management Professional
Save
As an essential part of the public health system, Pest Management Professionals (PMPs) are responsible for protecting people, property, and the environment from pests. They use their knowledge of pest biology, behavior, and control methods to identify, monitor, and eliminate pests that can cause harm or damage. PMPs work in a variety of settings, including homes, businesses, schools, hospitals, and food processing plants. They may also work for government agencies or pest control companies.
Education and Training
PMPs typically need a high school diploma or equivalent. Some employers may require a college degree in pest management, entomology, or a related field. PMP certification is not required, but it is highly recommended. Certification demonstrates that a PMP has the knowledge and skills to safely and effectively manage pests.
