GPCA Recognizes Outstanding Professionals

For the past four years, the Georgia Pest Control Association recognized six service professionals from member companies for their standout service. This list includes individuals who are the backbone of the pest control industry’s success in Georgia. These are the frontline people who frequently work long hours, talk to concerned customers, and work in their community. They are the people that GPCA businesses consider their ‘go-to-peopl’.

In Athens this year, GPCA honored six recipients.
