PestWorld (NPMA) Pest Control Directory Scraper

Find licensed, NPMA-member pest control companies and exterminators near any US ZIP code, Canadian postal code, or browse every member company in a given country. Scrapes PestWorld.org's official "Find a Pro" locator, run by the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). No login, no API key.

What this actor does

• Two search modes: byZipCode (local search around a US ZIP or Canadian postal code) and byCountry (all NPMA member companies in a given country)
• Company details: name, full address, phone, website (when listed)
• QualityPro certification flag — NPMA's industry-leading credentialing program
• Filters: QualityPro-certified only, website-required only
• Empty fields are omitted — every record only contains data actually shown on the source page

Output per company

• companyName
• streetAddress, city, state, postalCode, fullAddress
• phone — normalized international format. US/Canada and other NANP countries (e.g. Jamaica, Bahamas) use the familiar +1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx grouping; every other byCountry search uses that country's own ITU calling code instead, e.g. +49 8857697040 for Germany or +61 754491765 for Australia. Omitted (not fabricated) when the source listing's phone number can't be reliably parsed for the searched country
• website — when the listing includes one
• qualityProCertified — true/false
• npmaMember — always true (every listed pro is vetted by NPMA)
• listingType — sponsored (featured/QualityPro spotlight cards) or standard (full directory listing)
• searchZipCode / searchCountry — echoes the search input used
• sourceUrl — the PestWorld locator page scraped
• recordType: "pestControlCompany", scrapedAt

FAQ

What is NPMA / PestWorld.org? The National Pest Management Association is the pest control industry's trade association. PestWorld.org is its consumer-facing site, and the Find-a-Pro locator lists dues-paying NPMA member companies.

What's QualityPro certification? NPMA's voluntary credentialing program. QualityPro companies undergo background checks, ongoing training, and drug-free workplace audits. See qualitypro.org.

Does this include every pest control company in the US? No — only NPMA member companies. Many national and regional companies are members, but independent/non-member exterminators won't appear.

Why do some companies lack a website? PestWorld only publishes a website link when the member company supplied one; many smaller local companies list phone-only contact.

Are all website links guaranteed to work? The actor relays the URL exactly as published on PestWorld's listing. Occasionally a member company's self-reported website has since moved or gone offline (this is upstream data staleness, not something the actor can detect or fix) — the vast majority resolve correctly.

Can I search by pest type or service type (residential/commercial)? The upstream locator only supports ZIP/postal code and country search — it has no pest-type or service-type filter, so this actor doesn't expose one either (to avoid inventing filters the source doesn't support).

How many results come back per ZIP code? Typically 0–15+ depending on local NPMA membership density; sparse rural ZIPs may return few or zero results, which is real data, not a scraping error.

Is Canada supported? Yes — Canadian postal codes work in byZipCode mode (e.g. M5H 2N2), and Canada is also selectable in byCountry mode for a nationwide member listing.

Why does byCountry for a large country (e.g. United States) return fewer records than maxItems? PestWorld's Find-a-Pro locator serves the entire country listing as a single, non-paginated results page — there is no "next page" to follow. For very large member countries this page itself is capped by PestWorld at roughly 500 companies; the actor already extracts every company card present, so raising maxItems beyond that won't yield more records. This is an upstream source limit, not an actor shortfall.
