OPCA Benefits

A unique cooperative effort between the Ohio Pest Control Association and the National Pest Management Association now makes it possible for you to enjoy the membership benefits and privileges of both organizations at a fraction of what it would normally cost. This new arrangement has a single purpose: to help you get the help and information you need more efficiently and less expensively!

Your Voice In Washington...And In Columbus

As part of our ongoing effort to help you do your job more efficiently and with fewer regulatory encumbrances, OPCA and NPMA meet with state and federal legislators and regulatory agencies to ensure your concerns as an individual pest management professional receive the attention and consideration they deserve. Try putting a price tag on this service and you’ll discover that it justifies your membership dues all by itself!

Promoting Your Profession

From our industry awareness programs to our leadership development projects and ongoing lobbying efforts, OPCA and NPMA are passionate and tireless advocates of pest management, pest management companies, and your individual interests as a pest management professional. And when you join, you add the weight of your convictions and professional commitment to that of hundreds of other Ohio PMPs who have already identified OPCA and NPMA as leaders in promoting the pest management industry.

Your Presence on the World Wide Web

As the first structural pest management association on the Web, NPMA is making pest management information available to both the general public and pest management professionals. And, when you become an OPCA/NPMA member, you will have access to information only available to members. The site is used to both communicate with members, and to promote the many benefits of using pest management professionals to the general public.

Monthly Updates On The State Of The Art In Pest Management

From insect identification information, regulatory updates and techniques in pest management to sample contracts and membership bulletins, our monthly technical releases, management reports and service letters have defined both the technical and management state of the art in pest management for nearly 50 years. As an OPCA/NPMA member, you’ll get dozens of these unique and valuable reports on your desk each year...practical information that you can use yourself or share with other members of your staff.

Information Central: Instant Access

The “Information Central” toll free hotline provides you with instant access to our expert technical department. Developed to give you practical solutions to your most difficult and pressing challenges, “Information Central” provides you with the outside expertise and resources you need to make informed business decisions.

Legislative Day

As the organizational rallying point for the entire pest management industry, NPMA sponsors Legislative Day each February in Washington, DC...an annual opportunity for you and hundreds of your pest management colleagues to discuss industry issues, formulate positions and present them—in person—to your senators and congressional representatives in Washington, DC.

The NPMA Resource Center: Information You Can Use

From our widely acclaimed NPMA Field Guide to Structural Pests to our consumer-oriented pamphlets and brochures to our computerbased introductory tutorial on termite control, the NPMA Resource Center is your leading source for training and educational materials...all with a 50 percent discount for OPCA/NPMA members.

NPMA Convention: Your Industry’s Premier Event

Once a year, pest management professionals from all over the country gather for our industry’s largest and most prestigious event...Pest Management: The annual NPMA Convention. And, as an OPCA/NPMA member, you and the other employees of your company will receive significant discounts on convention registration fees...discounts that can more than pay for your membership dues!

Who’s Who In Professional Pest Management

NPMA’s Who’s Who in Professional Pest Management/Buyers Guide is your guide to who and where your peers are in the pest management industry. A day-to-day resource designed to help find answers to your most difficult questions from your colleagues and fellow members, Who’s Who lists members by company and by state. Don’t forget the inclusion of the invaluable buyers guide to help you find the products, equipment and services you need to run your business. Best of all, it’s OPCA/NPMA members.

The OPCA Directory

The OPCA Directory/Listing of members is provided to consumers upon request. This is a great method of obtaining additional advertising and marketing.

Your Source for Training and Education

Both OPCA and NPMA have well-deserved reputations as leaders in providing conferences and seminars geared to the specific needs of PMPs. In addition, to the outstanding national and regional conferences offered by NPMA, OPCA offers regional training schools all year throughout the state on the most pressing issues of the day…all at reduced prices for OPCA/NPMA members. OPCA hosts an annual convention complete with a trade show and our summer meeting is a great time for networking.

INFOTRAC: 24 hour Emergency Response Service

Our INFOTRAC Chemical Emergency Response System wasdeveloped to help meet stringent U.S. Department of transportation emergency response information requirements at a small fraction of what this service would cost you as an individual PMP.

Hiring and firing, lawsuit and personnel policies, salary and wage advice. Important, practical information from an expert in the field at no cost to your company.

OPCA Worker Compensation Group Plan

OPCA features a worker’s compensation group plan. The savings from this program will more than cover the cost of your OPCA dues. More information is available from OPCA headquarters.

Working Together in Common Cause

For you to take advantage of the many opportunities available, you need a network of companies, colleagues and vendors who share your interests across the country and around the world. A group that will understand your needs and feel the pulse of the industry to which you’ve committed your professional life. The OPCA/NPMA partnership was formed to provide you with precisely these opportunities.
