We are proud to announce that Christopher Somers has earned the ACE Professional Award, a national recognition presented by the Entomological Society of America for excellence in structural pest management. This national recognition honors an outstanding Associate Certified Entomologist (ACE) who demonstrates exceptional contributions to the field of structural pest management and serves as a leader within the industry.
Chris joined Rambo Total Pest Control in 2013 and has steadily grown into a leadership role marked by technical knowledge, commitment to quality, and dedication to professional growth. The ACE Professional Award is presented annually to a single individual who exemplifies excellence in pest management industry participation, internal organizational development, community impact, and mentorship of future professionals. This recognition reflects his exceptional contributions across all these criteria over the past decade.
The Entomological Society of America selects one ACE each year for this distinction, making it one of the most competitive awards in the pest control field. Chris’s selection underscores his role not only as a certified expert, but as a professional who has actively shaped the culture, training standards, and service quality of Rambo Total Pest Control.
Under his influence, we have increased our technical training rigor, expanded our customer-focused practices, and elevated our internal standards for performance. His work has helped guide new team members and supported a strong mentoring environment, essential qualities acknowledged by the award committee. Beyond his contributions within the company, Chris has also engaged with the wider community through educational outreach and advocacy for responsible pest control practices.
He formally received the award in October at PestWorld 2025, the National Pest Management Association’s premier annual trade show, held this year in Orlando, Florida. The event brought together industry leaders, researchers, and professionals from across the globe. Representing Rambo Total Pest Control on this national stage reflected both his personal achievements and the company’s ongoing commitment to excellence in pest management.
The ACE Professional Award is one of the highest honors in the field, signifying both peer and institutional recognition of outstanding service, technical skill, and leadership. Rambo Total Pest Control acknowledges this achievement as a moment of pride not only for Chris but for the entire team and client community that benefits from his work.
