NEPMA’s IPM Registry Program Merges with NPMA’s QualityPro Green Program

FAIRFAX, Va. — The National Pest Management Association (NPMA) and the New England Pest Management Association (NEPMA) announced that NEPMA’s IPM Registry program will merge with NPMA’s QualityPro Green program. This partnership strengthens the pest management industry’s environmental stewardship designation, and in turn will increase consumer demand and confidence in our industry.

Both the QualityPro Green and IPM Registry programs have worked hard to offer a comprehensive IPM designation to their members interested in offering green services to their clientele. Through the QualityPro Green program, this partnership enables members to speak to experts, industry stakeholders and consumers with a unified voice and back up rhetoric with a cohesive and credible national program.

The transition from the IPM Registry to QualityPro Green will begin immediately and be completed by Jan. 1, 2010.

“In our effort to continually improve our program, we have partnered with the NPMA’s QualityPro Green initiative to again raise the bar of professionalism and environmental stewardship of each of the 65 enlisted companies across New England, and elevate our member companies above the competition,” said Peter Wonson Jr., president of NEPMA. “I look forward to an exciting partnership and encourage IPM Registry members to get started as soon as possible in earning the QualityPro Green designation.”
