About Us
What's Our Story?
Innovative Pest Management, Inc. was founded in 1992 by its president and technical director, Richard D. Kramer, Ph. D. following his retirement as a U.S. Army entomologist with 22 years of experience. Nationally recognized as a leader in his field, Dr. Kramer is a Board Certified Entomologist (BCE) in Urban Entomology with over 35 years experience. He has held the prestigious position of Director of Research, Education, and Technical Services for the National Pest Management Association, consulted internationally for the U.S. State Department, writes a monthly column in PCT (Pest Control Technology), and authored the most recent edition of the Technician's Handbook (used by thousands of field technicians throughout the country). 

Dr. Kramer's vision of recognizing unmet needs within our industry and his leadership in setting the standard for professional responsibility were instrumental in his decision to form Innovative Pest Management. We now operate as one of the fastest growing full-service regional pest management organizations in the DC metropolitan area. 

Extensive Experience!
All of our service personnel are certified pesticide applicators (MD, VA and/or DC) and at a minimum are certified in categories including general household pests, rodents and termites. Several of our personnel are certified in turf and ornamental, bird, mosquito and wildlife management. Our personnel have worked as technicians, supervisors, and/or entomologists for pest management contracts with numerous commercial office and residential properties including the National Institutes of Health Laboratory, the Naval District of Washington, the Department of Commerce, the World Bank and the Holocaust Memorial Museum. All of our personnel attend continuing education programs offered throughout the region and participate in monthly in-house training provided by Dr. Kramer. Although a staff entomologist is rarely required for pest management contracts, Dr. Kramer enjoys interacting with customers and is readily available to assist you with any pest management problem.
