San Diego District

Pest Control Operators of California is a non-profit trade
association that has served the business and educational needs
of pest control operators for over 60 years.
PCOC keeps members up-to-date on new materials,
procedures, laws and precautions -- and also works closely with
the state's Structural Pest Control Board and Department of
Pesticide Regulation to help shape regulations that protect the
credibility of our industry and the safety of our customers. And
we're the industry's voice at the State Capitol. We successfully
fought efforts to require costly pesticide notification before every
application.

Three times we stopped legislation to prohibit the same
company from doing the work recommended after performing a
WDO. We blocked efforts to require inspection of all work
performed. And we've helped improve consumer relations with
Med-Net -- PCOC's 24-hour a day hot-line that answers
customer questions about the safe use of pesticides.
