PestWorld 2026 Brings the Pest Management Industry Together in Texas
Everything really was bigger in Texas!
PestWorld 2026 wrapped up October 20–23 at the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention
Center in Grapevine, Texas, bringing together thousands of pest management professionals, manufacturers, distributors, and industry leaders from across the country and around the world.
This year's event welcomed more than 4,600 pest management professionals, making it a record-breaking PestWorld and the largest event in the National Pest Management Association's history.
For the Avitrol team, it was an incredible opportunity to connect with the people who make this industry what it is.
From longtime industry friends to new faces stopping by our booth, the conversations, questions, and connections made this year's event one to remember.
And we couldn't be more thankful to everyone who took the time to visit us.
Meeting an Incredible Group of Pest Management Professionals
One of the best parts of PestWorld is getting to meet so many people who are passionate about what they do.
Throughout the event, the Avitrol team had the opportunity to meet pest management professionals from different backgrounds, businesses, and regions.
We talked about the challenges pest control companies face when dealing with bird problems, the opportunities available for businesses looking to expand their services, and the importance of finding effective solutions for difficult bird control situations.
We also got to hear firsthand about the experiences of professionals working in the field.
Every conversation provided a different perspective.
Some people were already familiar with Avitrol and wanted to learn more about our products and services. Others were discovering our bird control solutions for the first time.
And for many, it was simply an opportunity to stop by, introduce themselves, and learn more about what we do.
Those are the conversations we appreciate most.
Building relationships with pest management professionals is an important part of what we do, and PestWorld gives us the opportunity to connect with people we might not otherwise get to meet.
Helping Pest Management Companies Expand Into Bird Control
Bird control continues to be an important opportunity for pest management companies looking to expand their services.
Starlings, pigeons, sparrows, blackbirds, and other pest birds can create serious challenges for commercial facilities, agricultural operations, and businesses.
From contamination and property damage to feed loss and sanitation concerns, bird problems can require specialized solutions.
At PestWorld 2026, we had the opportunity to discuss these challenges with professionals looking for ways to better serve their customers.
We talked about bird behavior, identifying problem areas, evaluating facilities, and understanding the different approaches available for managing bird activity.
These conversations are important because bird control isn't always as simple as identifying a problem and putting a product in place.
Every facility is different.
Understanding where birds are feeding, roosting, nesting, and gaining access to a property can help pest management professionals develop a more effective management plan.
We enjoyed sharing our experience and learning more about the situations professionals are encountering in their own markets.
A Great Opportunity to Build New Relationships
Trade shows like PestWorld are about more than products and presentations.
They're about people.
It's an opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces, meet new industry professionals, exchange ideas, and learn from others who are working toward similar goals.
The Avitrol team enjoyed meeting pest management business owners, technicians, distributors, and other industry professionals throughout the event.
We appreciate everyone who stopped by Booth #1018, asked questions, shared their experiences, or simply took the time to introduce themselves.
Those connections are what make events like PestWorld so valuable.
And we look forward to continuing those conversations long after everyone has returned home.
Thank You for an Incredible PestWorld 2026
With more than 4,600 pest management professionals attending this year's event, PestWorld 2026 was an incredible gathering for the industry.
For Avitrol, it was a chance to meet amazing people, share ideas, discuss bird control challenges, and build relationships with professionals from across the pest management community.
We want to thank everyone who visited our booth, took the time to speak with our team, and made this year's event such a memorable experience.
We also want to thank the National Pest Management Association for putting together an outstanding event and bringing so many professionals together.
The pest management industry continues to grow, and we're excited to be part of it.

We look forward to seeing everyone again next year.
And if we didn't get a chance to meet you at the show, we'd still love to connect.
