PCOC is Here for You

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 hotline that answers customer questions about the safe use of pesticides.

Protection Against Bad Laws

PCOC has clout at the State Capitol where our lobbyists work to protect our industry against unfair laws and over-regulation.
