All inclusive resource bundles provide PMPs the tools for going into classrooms

March 28, 2006 – The National Pest Management Association (NPMA) is pleased to announce the creation of two, all inclusive resource packages to help pest management professionals “jump start” classroom presentations.  Resources are intended to educate students, provide accurate information about the pest management industry and to use as leave behinds for students to refer to in the future.

April is National Pest Management Month and many PMPs visit schools in an effort to familiarize students with the benefits of hiring a professional. Companies reach out to their communities by providing classrooms with hands on materials and unique gifts. To help professionals, NPMA has created two packages available for purchase through the Bug Store.  

The first package is designed for elementary schools, offering a variety of fun and educational merchandise including the NPMA Fun & Activity Book, the PestWorld for Kids CD, and Folkmanis pest puppets, complete with descriptions. The second package, geared towards secondary schools and older students includes consumer brochures, the Pest Control in our World video, and detailed pest posters.

“NPMA continues to provide PMP’s with resources that can help them with their day to day activities. These two packages offer a one-stop shopping option to individuals, providing them with the resources necessary to deliver an intelligent and effective presentation,” commented Andy Architect., NPMA resource manager.
