  Fewer than 200 pest control technicians have become WPCA certified Master Techs. Are you the next?

  Achieving your Master Tech status assures your customers of your commitment to quality service, and to advancing the practice of effective and safe pest control services. Once certified as a Master Tech, you earn the right to wear the Master Tech uniform patch.

  The exam consists of questions related to vertebrate pest control, insects, IPM principles and laws and regulations. The fee includes one retest. The exam is given each year in conjunction with our Spring Training Conference. Note: This registration is for the exam only. If you plan to attend the entire Conference, register here.
  

  The WPCA Master Tech program is sponsored by WPCA in cooperation with the Insect Diagnostic Laboratory at UW-Madison, and the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection.
