Rep. Carlos Curbelo (R-FL), as well as an important networking reception in the evening. Legislative Day is also a time to recognize the pest industry’s pioneers, innovators, and hard workers. Carrothers noted “One of the biggest challenges facing the pest management industry is the need for workers. By connecting veterans with potential employers and pest management companies with hard-working veterans, NPMA's PestVets helps fulfill that need. We’re committed to helping them succeed.” He honored Ted Brayton, coordinator for mobile technology for Sentricon, at Griggs & Browne Pest Control, with the FMC Legislative Day Award. In addition, FMC’s Tom Wharton honored Phillip Moore with the 2022 David Cooksey PestVet of the Year Award, a veteran who has helped strengthen the role of pest management and is recognized for his outstanding contributions to the industry and to the community he serves.
