Raleigh, N.C. — The North Carolina Pest Management Association (NCPMA) celebrated its 75th Pest Control Technician’s (PCT) School at the Sheraton Imperial Hotel and Conference Center from Jan. 27-30, in Durham, N.C.

“We are thrilled to be celebrating the 75th Pest Control Technician’s School in Durham. The school is not only a conference, but it’s a long-held tradition that we are proud to carry on for our industry,” said John Adkins, PCT Committee Chair. “Over the years, we have developed a reputation for having some of the best speakers and sessions in the country, and this year promises to be one of our best yet.” 

The event opened with a video created by Go Forth Marketing celebrating the history of the school and a panel discussion featuring some of the event’s past chairs discussing the evolution of the school. The PCT School began at North Carolina State University and today attracts more than 1,000 attendees each year making it the second-largest pest management gathering in the country. 

The opening session included presentations of NCPMA’s Technician of the Year, Administrative Professional of the Year and Hall of Fame awards and the awarding of a scholarship to a North Carolina State University entomology student.

The PCT School offers four days of pest management continuing education, hands-on training courses and nationally recognized speakers.
