PCT Pest Control Technology Features and News


During my tenure at GIE Media, I served as a contributor to many of the publishers' trade magazines, while simultaneously serving as assistant editor for Lawn & Landscape. One of those magazines is the top news source for the pest control industry: PCT Pest Control Technology. Of the industries I've covered, pest control is easily my favorite, and the most memorable. (I mean, just look at the cover to the left! Cool, right?) I enjoyed interacting with pest control operators (PCOs) while developing stories and learning things about bugs and other pests; everything from bats to rats to fire ants.
Speaking of fire ants, what other publication sends you to report on a trade show in Orlando solely dedicated to new technology for eradicating that creepy crawly red menace (called "The Fire Ant Symposium" in case you were wondering.)? Of all the industries I noticed that PCOs also party a little harder than members of other professions I'd covered (who knew?) -- but those are stories for another time. I've provided links to some of my PCT features below. Since you've already clicked below the break, why not check some of them out? Who knows? You might actually learn something.
