Generous PMPs abound

February 5, 2019

On this page is a smattering of the many charitable projects and causes in which various pest management professionals (PMPs) were involved in 2018. And these were chosen from just the ones we know about; many more wonderful acts of kindness take place anonymously or in a low-key way, every day, in this industry. We hope you find these examples as inspiring as we do, and we invite you to share what you and your companies are doing in 2019 to help the less fortunate or bring attention to a worthy cause. Drop us a line at pmpeditor@northcoastmedia.net.
