Dr. Oi is an associate extension scientist in urban entomology at the University of Florida. She is also a member of Pest Management Professional’s (PMP’s) Editorial Advisory Board and was featured in PMP’s December 2018 Women in Pest Management issue.

Dr. Oi will discuss termites at the PCT School with a presentation titled, “Termite Control: More than Applying a Termiticide.”

The 2020 PCT School will feature nationally recognized speakers who will lead educational sessions for pest management professionals, as well as hands-on training sessions for pest management technicians.

This year, the NCPMA is making some changes to its hands-on learning session, which was launched in 2019. The North Carolina State University’s hands-on spray school and live learning course will still be offered, but will be on-site this year.

The 2020 PCT School will be held Jan. 26-30, at the Sheraton Imperial Hotel and Convention Center in Durham, N.C. Registration will open in fall 2019.

Founded in 1952, the NCPMA is the trade association representing the professional pest management industry in North Carolina. NCPMA promotes the continued cooperation and success of all pest management businesses in North Carolina. NCPMA is the only statewide association dedicated to representing and educating North Carolina’s pest management professionals.
