PestWorld 2026: Conversations, Connections and What’s Ahead

For four decades, Web-Cote Industries has been manufacturing high-quality glue products for the pest management industry. This October, we marked another milestone in our company’s history: our first time exhibiting at PestWorld.

Held October 20–23 in Grapevine, Texas, PestWorld 2026 brought together pest management professionals from across the industry for four days of education, networking, and new opportunities.

At booth #539, Web-Cote President and CEO Susan Masciarelli and VP of Sales Craig Martelle welcomed visitors, showcased our products and manufacturing capabilities, and connected with customers, distributors, and industry professionals.

Building Relationships, Exploring Opportunities

One of the greatest benefits of PestWorld is the opportunity to connect face-to-face with the people and businesses that make up the pest management industry.

For Susan, the experience created opportunities to meet industry professionals she might not otherwise have encountered.

Craig shared a similar perspective on Web-Cote’s first year exhibiting.

“Web-Cote Industries’ first year as an exhibitor was very humbling. The number of PMPs that came by to say hi and see why we are here and what we offer kept us very busy,” said Craig.

These conversations provided an opportunity to introduce Web-Cote to new audiences, strengthen existing relationships, and better understand the needs of pest management professionals.

Putting Products and Manufacturing Capabilities in the Spotlight

Throughout the event, Web-Cote showcased its range of adhesive monitoring solutions, including Pro-Trap Monitoring Solutions, flylight glue boards, insect monitors, and rodent glue boards.

One area that generated particular interest was the water-resistant construction of our glue boards.

“The PMPs were very interested in the water-resistant aspect of our products,” Craig noted. “This tells me that being a forward-thinking company will keep us in their sight of business as we move forward.”

For Susan, that interest reinforced the work that has gone into bringing these products to market.

“My biggest takeaway was the feeling of validation that we really do have something special,” Susan shared. “We’ve worked hard to bring these water-resistant boards to market, and the response at PestWorld reinforced my belief that they can make a real difference in the day-to-day experience of the technicians using them.”

She added, “It made me proud of what we’ve built and excited about what’s ahead.”

Beyond our branded Pro-Trap line, Web-Cote’s OEM and private label manufacturing capabilities were also part of the conversation. With manufacturing operations in Hamburg, New Jersey, we continue to focus on delivering quality adhesive products backed by decades of specialized experience.
