PPMABC

The Professional Pest Management Association of British Columbia (PPMABC) was founded in 1980. It was incorporated under the BC Society Act on October 2, 1980 (constitution.pdf).

In 1988, the PPMA newsletter adopted the name Pesticulars following a suggestion by Jerry Carlson

A little bit about our organization and what we hope to provide...we hope someday to agree on a definition for IPM.

1. To promote professionalism in the practice of pest management for the protection of crops, livestock, public health and the environment in British Columbia;
2. To encourage scientific research and dissemination of information on pest management methods; and
3. To contribute to proposed regulatory legislation pertaining to any aspect of pest management.
