I haven't found one.

I think the NPMA has a forum or maybe it was PCT Magazine that had it. In either case it isn't that great.

Hey, that's a darn good question. Could it be that pest guys are a little more secretive than we are? Of course, they probably have a right to be. There are probably at least ten times more of them.

I think while they could or would use a forum, they have magazines like PCT and others for their industry and lots and lots of
written info compared to the wildlife control industry. Not to say that WCT which I love (though I am lapsed frown ) doesn't give us
as well, but these folks have been around a long time. There are groups on linkedin, but many groups get overrun by daily barrage
of product placements, advertising and just general posting of unrelated items. They also are a group who are used to going to CEU
trainings and others that most states don't require for our part of this field. There are so many of them as Paul mentions though that
I'm not sure any have a "secret" they don't want to share, it seems more about grabbing up as much of a client base as possible and then
just moving along day to day. Marketing might be the one thing I could see them holding close to their chests, though I see them advertise
for things they do not do in my area, which seems like money spent with no return, but they are big enough (at least the big ones) to
promote on a wide platform. Funny thing is put pocket gopher control into google adwords and it might cost $1.50 a click, now try that
with "pocket gopher pest" and you will see your cost go up about $8.00 per click!

They defend that "pest" word.

Would like to see a forum though it isn't my bag, always looking to learn and understand more.

When DaveK says "smarter", he must be referring to the company owners. He certainly can't be referring to the technicians!

What are you looking for? I belong to a private message board. Swearing, politics, off color humor, advertising, techniques, chemicals, laws, software programs anything and everything can be discussed. You need to be invited to join, all members vote whether to allow you in, to ensure you don't compete with a member, unless that member is OK with you.
Do you remember MAC on this board? I introduced him to the board and now he rarely visits here. There is alot of off topic stuff on there. But if you have a question it will be answered by people with years of experience.
PM me for details.
