The Pennsylvania Pest Management Association (PPMA) is pleased to announce the appointment of one of its own, Martin Overline, as chairman of the newly formed “Pest Vets” committee of the National Pest Management Association (NPMA).

In February, the NPMA announced the formation of its new Veterans Group. The mission of the group is to help veterans get jobs in the pest control industry through various education and training opportunities and provide mentoring and support for veterans currently employed in the industry.

Overline has operated The Aardvark Pest Management in Philadelphia for the past two decades. He served in the U.S. Air Force as an Entomology Engineer.

“I’m honored to have been selected to head up this initiative,” Overline says. “We recognize the service and sacrifice veterans have made, and we want to make sure that they know that opportunities are available in the pest industry.”
