Who We Are

Welcome to the official website of the Delaware Pest Control Association (DPCA). We are a non-profit organization established over 50 years ago to support the professional pest control industry’s commitment to the protection of public health, food and property, reflected both in the continuing education of pest control professionals and the dissemination of timely information to homeowners and businesses.

This website serves as a resource for consumers and our membership of pest control professionals. It also offers lots of information on the benefits of DPCA membership, a pest control professional company locator service, and consumer tips on pest prevention. We at DPCA hope that our site visitors, whether DPCA members or informed homeowners will find this site to be their main resource for information on pests, pest-related property and health threats.
