NCPMA members are trained to properly identify the signs of termites such as mud tubes, swarms and damage to wood. In addition, they can offer prevention options that keep termites from ever entering your home.

NCPMA members receive ongoing training that allows them to properly identify, treat and prevent ongoing pest problems within your home or business. Our members are trained to use state-of-the-art treatment and prevention methods including non-pesticide methods. Whether its bed bugs, termites, or your ordinary house ant, these members can identify and prevent problems before they become large infestations, thereby saving homeowners from costly and time-consuming treatments.
