E. David Dodd, Jr. is one of the founding members of the North Carolina Pest Control Association (NCPCA). He served as president of NCPCA in 1959 and was editor of the association newsletter in 1962. In 1962, he lobbied the telephone companies to stop listing pest control companies in multiple places in phone books. Thanks to his efforts, pest control companies were listed under one heading in the phone books making it easier for consumers to find their phone numbers.
