| | Renew Your 2027 License Now
MDA says late fees are now in effect for licenses that have not been renewed. If you have already completed your renewal but have not received your 2027 license, contact the Pesticide Regulation Section to check the status and make sure everything is in order. |
| | Memberships that have not been renewed may be deactivated beginning September 22. Whether you hold a joint MSPCA/NPMA membership or an MSPCA state-only membership (for companies with headquarters outside of MD), now is the time to make sure your renewal is complete and your member benefits stay uninterrupted. |
| | A pesticide certification and recertification training program presented entirely in Spanish will be held October 15 in Kearneysville, WV. The program is designed for Spanish-speaking technicians and applicators and includes opportunities for both initial Registered Technician training and recertification credits. Click below for course details, credits and registration. |
| | Maryland pest management professionals are invited to join VPMA’s inaugural Scholarship Golf Tournament. Register as an individual or foursome. Bring colleagues, employees, clients, or friends and enjoy a fun day supporting scholarships for Virginia students pursuing entomology and pest management careers. |

| | NPMA members now have access to industry-specific economic forecasting through ITR Economics at no additional cost. See how this new benefit can help you track trends, compare your company’s performance, and make more informed decisions about staffing, budgeting, and growth. |
| | MSPCA’s November Board Meeting & Dinner is open to Maryland pest management professionals, not just Board members. Join us for a short meeting, social hour, and dinner, and learn more about ways to get involved through leadership, committees, and association activities. |
| | Save January 27–28 for the 2027 Interstate Pest Management Conference in Linthicum Heights. MSPCA is building the program now and wants your ideas for technical, regulatory, workforce, and business management sessions, including the returning Business Building Blocks track. Share the speakers and topics you would most like to see. |
| | Spotted lanternflies have quickly become both a plant pest and a frustrating nuisance for homeowners. Dr. Richard D. Kramer, BCE, shares key facts pest management professionals should know about their behavior, life cycle, and control limitations, along with practical guidance for managing customer expectations. With few effective options for controlling adult populations, education may be one of the most important tools PMPs can offer their customers. |
