About the National Pest Management Association

The National Pest Management Association (NPMA), a non-profit organization with nearly 5,000 members from around the world, was established in 1933 to support the pest management industry’s commitment to the protection of public health, food and property.

The driving force behind the establishment of the association was Pest Management Professional (PMP) Hall of Famer Bill Buetter (Class of 1998). Per his profile, he was instrumental in the early days of the Society of Exterminators and Fumigators in New York City, and his marketing skills and tireless energy were soon in great demand. In 1933, he traveled throughout the Eastern United States to rally support for a national organization.

Buettner worked with several other industry movers and shakers to establish the [National Association of Exterminators and Fumigators (NAEF, which is known today as the NPMA)]. They held their first meeting in Washington in 1933. Fifty people were in attendance. By the following year, with the conference held in St. Louis, Mo., there were 125 attendees.
