4 things to look out for in the April 2026 edition

– Our “Question of the Month” respondents offer a host of solid reasons to raise prices this year. We particularly appreciate the straight talk from Pest Control Business Coach Owner and Pest Management Professional (PMP) columnist Sheri Spencer Bachman, ACE: “Increase prices 5 percent to 10 percent annually. Your costs rise every year, and your pricing should, too.”

– You’ll notice that this issue is packed with information about mosquitoes, but PMP Hall of Famer (Class of 2002) and columnist Dr. Austin Frishman, BCE-Emeritus, started his advice for this pest in our March issue, writing about gearing up for high season. For April, Doc takes a look at why mosquitoes are sometimes so difficult to control.

– Per usual, Dennis Jenkins offers a lot of great advice in this month’s “ABC’s of Growth” column. Here’s one more safety tip of his that we’d bet often is overlooked: “Slips, trips and falls can happen in your office’s kitchen, restrooms, warehouse and even parking lot. Do you have good floor mats that regularly are cleaned so employees are not walking around with wet or muddy shoes? What happens when it’s raining, and your warehouse floors are wet? Place large, clean floor mats in every area where employees walk in from the outside.”

– The Pest Posse, which is co-owned by Culley Christensen and PMP columnist Foster Brusca, just completed its ninth annual Women in Pest Control Month in March. By the way, the celebration dovetails nicely with the news of the new headquarters and Hall of Fame for Women in Pest and Wildlife Control.
