CAPMA hosts annual legislative day

The California Pest Management Association (CAPMA) hosted its largest Legislative Day since 2017 as pest management professionals from across California gathered in Sacramento to meet directly with lawmakers and discuss the operational realities facing the structural pest management industry.

Throughout the event, participants met with legislative offices to address workforce development, licensing timelines, regulatory implementation and the need for policies that remain workable for small and mid-sized businesses while supporting public health.

A key focus of this year’s discussions was Assembly Bill 2477, authored by Assembly member Christopher Chen. The bill is intended to help address workforce pipeline challenges by allowing technicians to begin working under defined conditions while completing the licensing process.

Industry professionals shared firsthand insight on hiring delays, training investments, service capacity limitations and the operational strain extended licensing timelines can place on pest management companies.

“Legislative Day gives our industry the opportunity to have real conversations with policymakers about what is happening on the ground for California businesses,” said Crystelle Turlo, CEO of CAPMA. “This year’s turnout and engagement showed strong commitment to protecting public health while advancing practical, workable solutions that support the future of the profession.”

Participants also reported strong engagement from legislative offices throughout the Capitol, with discussions centered on maintaining professional standards while ensuring businesses can recruit, train and retain a qualified workforce.

CAPMA’s Legislative Day brings licensed pest management professionals into direct conversation with state leaders on issues affecting housing, food facilities, schools, businesses and public health infrastructure across California.

About the California Pest Management Association

The California Pest Management Association represents the state’s structural pest management professionals through advocacy, education and technical resources, supporting the industry’s role in protecting public health, property and the food supply.

Rockwell Labs: Expanded label for EcoVia 3-in-1

Rockwell Labs announces a significant label expansion and improved formula for EcoVia 3-in-1, enhancing its utility for pest management professionals (PMPs) while maintaining its key “For Organic Production” designation. Previously positioned primarily for plant pest use, EcoVia 3-in-1’s updated label now supports broad structural pest control applications, including:

• residential and commercial buildings
• warehouses and storage facilities
• food production and processing environments (including federally inspected facilities)
• drains, sewers and pipe chases
• basements, garages and outbuildings
• animal housing, kennels and agricultural structures

In addition to new use sites, the label now features a more robust list of structural pests, aligning with the needs of everyday service programs. Some of the added pests include cockroaches, occasional invaders, filth flies, numerous stored product pests, mosquitoes, ticks and fleas. This broader spectrum marks a clear shift from the previous label’s emphasis on plant pests to a more balanced, PMP-focused offering.

While all of Rockwell’s EcoVia products use botanical active ingredients, EcoVia 3-in-1 only includes ingredients that are allowed for use on food crops and raw commodities after harvest, and those that qualify for use in organic production. With the new structural use additions, PMPs can now leverage that designation more fully, using EcoVia 3-in-1 not only on organic crops, but throughout organic production, processing and storage environments where broader site flexibility is essential.

With its updated label, EcoVia 3-in-1 provides expanded access to organic production and sensitive accounts, and greater flexibility across indoor, outdoor and perimeter applications. It’s a versatile tool for PMPs, combining expanded structural use, broader pest coverage and an exclusive “For Organic Production” designation.

About Rockwell Labs

Founded by PMP Hall of Famer Dr. Cisse Spragins (Class of 2018), Rockwell Labs has been a pest control industry mainstay for over 20 years and a longtime proponent of integrated pest management (IPM). Headquartered in North Kansas City, Mo., the Rockwell team is dedicated to producing the best products and solutions for PMPs, including for green service treatments.

Nisus announces 100% employee-ownership plan

Nisus Corporation announced that it will transition to a 100% employee-owned company through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). As an ESOP-owned company, Nisus begins a new era focused on shared success, long-term stability and continued innovation.

This milestone was made possible through the collaboration of Nisus executive leadership and the Dietrich family, whose vision and support guided the transition.

Founded in 1990 by Bud and Pat Dietrich with the introduction of Bora-Care, Nisus has grown into a leading company in pest control and wood protection while remaining grounded in its people-first culture and commitment to environmentally responsible solutions.

On the family’s decision, Pat Dietrich said in a news release, “Bud and I have always loved the people who make Nisus work. This was the perfect way to recognize their hard work and loyalty, and to protect what makes Nisus so special.”

President and CEO Lee Barrett and CFOO Valerie Brummitt also played roles in bringing employee ownership to fruition. “Our founders believed deeply in investing in their employees, community and industry,” said Barrett in a press release. “This transition reflects the culture of care and generosity they built and creates meaningful opportunities for the dedicated team members who drive our success every day.”

Barrett added, “We are incredibly proud of the work we do at Nisus and honored to carry forward the foundation the Dietrichs created. Employee ownership positions us to build an even stronger future and expand our impact across pest control, wood protection and beyond.”

As employee-owners, Nisus team members will build ownership in the company through annual share allocations tied to their service and contributions.

“We are excited to continue the legacy Bud and Pat built,” said Valerie Brummitt. “This transition is about more than ownership — it strengthens the values, culture and commitment that have defined Nisus from the beginning.”

Additional details on the transition

Nisus was advised by AmbroseAdvisors, a national investment banking firm specializing in employee ownership transactions. Michael Harden, Senior Managing Director at AmbroseAdvisors, noted, “The Dietrich family sought a path that would preserve the company’s future while benefiting employees, customers, leadership and the community. Employee ownership creates lasting value for all stakeholders, and we were honored to support this transition.”
