Allergy Technologies hosts ATAHC Learning Symposium for PMPs

Allergy Technologies (AT) convened approximately 30 pest management professionals (PMPs) for its Jan. 6 ATAHC Learning Symposium, a hands-on educational seminar designed to share best management practices, field insights and updates related to the ATAHC Programs. The event was held near AT headquarters in Fort Washington, Pa. Attendees included existing ATAHC professional pest management partners.

The agenda focused on real-world application, emerging challenges and continuous improvement, ensuring that ATAHC subcontractors remain, as Allergy Technologies President Joseph Latino described it in a news release, “at the tip of the spear of knowledge and field applicability.”

While the symposium provided technical education and operational guidance, it served as a platform to reinforce what sets ATAHC apart from other pest management strategies, which reactively spot treat infestations rather than proactively address issues on a property-wide basis.

By replacing frequent callbacks and crisis-driven treatments with a structured, prevention-based model, PMPs benefit from fewer emergency visits, improved route efficiency, streamlined labor deployment and more predictable workloads.

In addition to operational efficiencies, ATAHC offers PMPs a differentiated service model that strengthens relationships with housing authorities and property managers. The program’s data-driven structure, standardized protocols and measurable outcomes help PMPs demonstrate value, reduce client discontent and secure longer-term partnerships in a sector that has historically been difficult to serve profitably.

While ATAHC’s results have been extraordinary, reducing bed bug reintroductions by greater than 98 percent, Allergy Technologies continues to seek ways to improve and fine-tune the program. “The Learning Symposium gathers together supervisors and technicians to discuss the programs, specifics of the programs and if there are ways to make them better,” says Charles Cerbini, Sr., executive vice president at Corbett Exterminating, and consultant to Allergy Technologies, added in a news release. “We want to hear what everybody has to say.”

Cerbini emphasized the importance of collaboration across companies and roles, noting that shared experiences from the field help refine and strengthen the program. “It’s always better to have everybody together because we feed off each other and give information to each other and see what’s worked in the field for this person, what’s worked in the field for this company and try to consolidate and make it better,” he said.

About the ATAHC

ATAHC (Affordable Housing Control and Prevention), is a comprehensive, property-wide platform developed by Allergy Technologies to address persistent pest challenges in affordable housing. Originally launched to combat bed bugs, the initial Program has since expanded into ATAHC Complete, a fully integrated model that addresses bed bugs alongside other structural public health nuisance pests such as cockroaches and rodents. The approach emphasizes early detection, long-acting preventive measures, collaboration with residents and property management and sustainable cost control.
