Who We Are
VM Products has manufactured and marketed innovative equipment for the professional pest management industry since 2003. We are a family-owned American manufacturer of a coordinated professional line, not a commodity station vendor, and our focus has never been only on products. It is on creating solutions built for reliability, durability, and practical use in the field.
The company was founded by Ethan Vickery on a simple principle: turn the real problems pest management professionals face into high performing, field tested tools. That principle still drives every product decision, and it is backed by decades of industry experience and collaboration with academic scientists.
Our Mission
VM Products is a family-owned manufacturer that puts people first, from our employees and customers to the pest management professionals and communities we serve. We do not just sell products. We create value by deeply understanding the pest control operator’s business, listening to our customers, valuing their expertise, and becoming a true partner in their success.
We are dedicated to equipping PMP partners with innovative, field proven solutions that protect homes, businesses, and communities. Guided by faith, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to excellence, we deliver dependable performance, exceptional service, and trusted partnerships, setting the industry standard while making the work purposeful and fun.
Our Core Values
Six principles govern how we build products and how we treat the people who use them.
What We Make
The VM line covers the full range of professional pest pressure. It includes weighted and anchorable rodent bait stations, compact mouse and multi-pest stations, multi-catch and snap-trap stations, weather-protected insect and fly stations, the lifecycle MosquitoCon, non-food monitors, and labeled block bait. Every lockable station opens with one Universal Key, so a technician can service a mixed account end to end with a single key.
This breadth lets a pest control company standardize on one brand across an entire book of business, from commercial and institutional accounts to agriculture and residential service.
Proven. Reliable. Durable.
Our promise to professionals is captured in three words. Proven, because the equipment is field tested and validated by third party science. Reliable, because PMPs depend on it to pass audits and reduce callbacks. Durable, because it is built from recycled plastic with a UV mitigating additive to survive washdown, weather, and years of service.
Since 2003 VM Products has set and exceeded industry standards in pest management, leading with innovation, agility, and a customer-first focus.
Built for the professional Channel
VM Products are sold exclusively through licensed Pest Management Professionals and a network of professional distributors, and are never sold direct to consumers. That network gives independent PMPs a neutral channel and nationwide availability.
This professional-only model protects the value of the equipment, supports private label and custom print programs, and keeps VM focused on the people who actually run the routes and the programs.
What You Can Expect From Us
Equipment is only half of the relationship. These are the commitments our team works to every day.
- Proactive communication. Clear, timely responses on every email, call, and text, at every level of your organization.
- No surprises. Straight answers on backorders, shipments, pricing, and compliance, including local and state regulations and product restrictions.
- Hands-on training. In person product knowledge sessions, technical support, and branch training for your team.
- Real field engagement. Qualified ride alongs, site visits, problem solving, and follow up with the technicians who run the routes.
- Complete, on-time shipments. Shipped whenever possible from one warehouse on one pallet, so your program arrives ready to deploy.
Baked by Science and Field Experience
Performance claims are grounded in data. The MosquitoCon receptacle was validated by Snell Scientific at a 90 percent or greater Aedes aegypti entry rate, and the EZ Secured and EZ Klean systems are protected by issued U.S. patents. We collaborate with academic scientists and gather input directly from PMPs so that every product meets the highest professional standards.
American Made and Built to Last
Every product is manufactured in the USA from recycled plastic with a UV mitigating additive, engineered to survive years of indoor and outdoor service. Durable, patented equipment lowers replacement cost and callbacks, and consistent construction means anchors, keys, and service parts carry across the entire line.
Leadership
VM Products is led by founder and CEO Ethan Vickery, with an executive team spanning operations, finance, quality, and sales. As a family-owned company, decisions are made by people who answer directly to the professionals who use the equipment. The team combines deep industry knowledge with hands-on field experience to ensure every solution delivers consistent results that PMPs can trust.
