Locust, NC — City Wide Exterminating is proud to celebrate Senior Service Specialist Sam Schuman and Service Specialist Nethan Castro for successfully completing the Premier Technician Program through the North Carolina Pest Management Association (NCPMA).

The Premier Technician Program is a specialized, hands-on training series that deepens expertise across eight key areas of pest management, including ants, bed bugs, cockroaches, flying insects, occasional invaders and stored product pests, rodents, wood-boring inspections (WDIR Accreditation), and wood-destroying organisms. Graduates of the program are recognized for their advanced knowledge, strong problem-solving abilities, and commitment to excellence in the field.
