My name is Chuck Roach, General Manager at Talent Pest Control.

I support VPMA’s petition to create a new certification category for non–area-wide public health pest control. The current Category 8 test focuses too much on large government mosquito programs, which doesn’t match what most of us do in residential settings.

A separate category would make the training and testing more relevant, help more techs get certified, and improve safety and compliance across the industry.

Sincerely,
Chuck Roach
General Manager – Talent Pest Control
