NPMA Service Technician’s Manual Order

March 22 2021 Hello SPMABC Members,

As many of you are already aware, the NPMA has released a second edition of the Service Technician’s Manual.

The second edition to NPMA’s top-selling training handbook, The Service Technician’s Training Manual, is available now!   This revised and expanded second edition is loaded with new content including updated pest biology and control information, the latest advances in pest control technology, a revised overview of federal regulations, new full-color images, a comprehensive Q&A section and much more!   The Service Technician’s Manual is the core training book for service technicians. It provides technicians with essential information on the pesticide label, basic steps to pest management, pesticides, insect and vertebrate pests, equipment, safety, procedures, and state/federal laws.   This manual serves as a companion training aid to NPMA’s online training course: NPMA New Hire Training For Service Technicians.

Due to the level of interest from our member companies, we are at this time hoping to offer a group buy option. The current price on the book is $30 USD + shipping, but if we are placing a bulk order, we may be able to reduce the price.

Any books purchased under this bulk order will be ordered to Integrated Pest Supplies. You would then be responsible to arranging pick up.

If you are interested, please advise us as soon as possible, as this offer is subject to availability of the handbook, and the level of interest.

Please don’t hesitate to contact us should you have any questions about this.

Thank you!

2021 Annual General Meeting

March 12 2021 Hello SPMABC Members,

As you all know, COVID-19 has made it impossible to conduct an in-person AGM this year.

We will be holding the Annual General Meeting for the Structural Pest Management Association of British Columbia via Zoom on Wednesday April 14th. The meeting will begin promptly at 4:00p.m. Zoom information has been sent out to members via email.

We will be electing the new Executive for the 2021 to 2022 term, excluding the President, who holds office for a 2 year term. An email was sent in February asking for anyone who wanted to stand for the board this year to submit their name. Because of the meeting format, we will not be able to accept last minute nominations this year.

A special resolution will be introduced and voted on at the AGM as well. Please review this attachment in your email and be prepared to vote on this during the meeting.

For those who will be unable to attend the meeting, voting by proxy is permitted. If you are planning to appoint a proxy, please fill out the proxy form (which was sent to all our registered members by email) and submit it to the board prior to the meeting via email at info@spmabc.com.

Only members in good standing will be eligible to vote. Only one representative for each company may speak at the meeting.

Hope to see you all on Zoom on April 14th!
