PestOne Celebrates 15th Anniversary

The networking organization recognized its 15th year of existence during the group's annual summer conference.


GREENSBORO, NC – This past weekend, PestOne member companies traveled from many different cities across the Southeast for training and networking at the Annual Summer Convention in Myrtle Beach, S.C. A weekend at the beach with your fellow colleagues and their families is usually celebration enough, but this year PestOne has a few extra milestones to celebrate.

PestOne Co-Founder and President Billy Tesh puts it simply, “We’ve come a long way in 15 years and more than doubled our attendance at this event. This year we had a record breaking 518 registered attendees, which is pretty exciting.”
 
In addition, the convention served as a launch party for PestOne’s newly redesigned webpage www.pestone.com. The new website makes it easy for consumers to find the most reputable and highest quality pest control companies in the area in little to no time. 
 
Functioning as an extended family of pest professionals working to strengthen the industry, PestOne opens the convention to owners, employees, family members, and industry sponsors. Bayer Environmental Science has been the main convention sponsor for over 10 years. 
 
“Bayer did a great job again this year providing fun and educational seminars on pesticide safety, ant management, and termite management. These training sessions are a key aspect of the PestOne convention along with the opportunity for team building,” says Tesh. 
 
PestOne is an organization of pest management professionals that aim to build a positive image for the pest management industry and individual customer bases while helping each other to grow. As an organization, PestOne works closely with the National Pest Management Association and the Professional Pest Management Alliance on issues regarding the pest management industry.
