PMP announces Hall of Fame inductees for 2026

Following a year’s hiatus, the Pest Management Professional (PMP) Hall of Fame committee has proudly voted in the distinguished Class of 2026.

This time around, the committee recognizes six inductees who have demonstrated exceptional leadership, dedication and industry influence:

Mark Boyd

This second-generation pest management professional retired Sept. 1, 2025, after more than three decades as a world-class innovator and visionary. Mark Boyd grew up in the business with his father, Richard, who transformed Pasadena, Texas–based Ford’s Pest Control into a successful formulation and distribution company in the 1960s. With that experience under his belt, Mark went on to found Control Solutions Inc. Under his guidance, CSI has grown into a powerhouse hybrid manufacturer, offering a broad portfolio of post-patent and innovative products across pest control, turf and ornamental, animal health and consumer markets.

Bobby, Raleigh and Dennis Jenkins

As the three sons of PMP Hall of Famer Bob Jenkins Sr. (Class of 2005), the “Jenkins brothers” are individual industry leaders in their own right. Each has built successful, industry-leading independent companies in the Austin, Houston, and Dallas, Texas markets, respectively. The trio has been consistently generous with their time, talent, and treasure, which is evidenced by each brother having served a term as president of the National Pest Management Association. They are also known for their charity work and their current status as monthly columnists for PMP magazine.

Frank Meek, BCE, PHE, PCQI

Meek’s career began in October 1986, and since then, this talented entomologist has served as a beacon of training, troubleshooting and support for thousands of pest management professionals — including a multi-year stint as a PMP columnist. Meek currently serves as the senior technical advisor for Atlanta, Ga.-based Rollins Inc., the parent company of Orkin Pest Control, HomeTeam Pest Defense, Critter Control, Western Pest Services, and more.

Posthumous Inductee: Gene White, BCE

The industry felt a profound loss when Gene White died unexpectedly Sept. 20, 2022. During his 41-year career, he was not only the global director of vector management for Rentokil, but also a respected and passionate trainer and a talented photographer whose high-quality photos of various structural pests are still in use today. A frequent article contributor to PMP magazine, he was a friend to everyone he met and touched many lives.

The formal induction of the Class of 2026 is set to take place in October in Grapevine, Texas. Learn more about the PMP Hall of Fame online at PMPHallOfFame.net. More information on the ceremony will be published as it becomes available.

Congratulations to our newest inductees!
