When looking for pest control service providers in Manila, Makati, Quezon City, North Luzon, Laguna, Cebu or anywhere else in the Philippines, be sure to find out if those in your list of prospective exterminators or pest control operators are members of national and international pest control associations.
Why is membership to pest control associations important?
Pest control associations, especially those national and international in scope, have stringent criteria in accepting members to the organization not only to protect reputation (their own and those of its members), but more importantly they closely coordinate with government agencies and pest control researchers on improving safety and effectiveness of pest control products, devices and techniques used in providing pest control services.
This is especially critical in the Philippines because of the change in regulatory structure of the urban pest control industry in 2008. Since then, the number of pest exterminators or pest control operators in Metro Manila and key cities have at least doubled. But instead of giving consumers better service, new exterminators or pest control operators resort to cutting prices to attract customers. Lured by cheap prices for what looks like the same quality services on pest and termite control, many consumers buy services provided by personnel who are NOT licensed and trained in pest identification, diagnosis, pesticide handling and safety. In the end, they may have placed not only their money and property at risk, but more importantly their families and/or employees’ health and that of the environment.
Is Bio-Tech Environmental a Member of National and International pest control associations?
Not only is Bio-Tech Environmental Services Philippines, Inc. a member of the Pest Control Association of the Philippines, Inc.

Bio-Tech Environmental is also a member of the Philippine Federation of Pest Management Operators’ Associations, Inc. (PFPMOA), the umbrella organization of recognized pest control associations in the country. PFPMOA aims to maintain and improve the Philippine pest control industry reputation by working towards recognizing pest control service providers that adhere to a common pest control standard.
