New Resident Briefing Video: StopPests published a 14-minute video for residents of multifamily housing to introduce them to pests and IPM in their homes. The short video can be shown to residents at lease-signing. It covers the primary pests of housing: cockroaches, bed bugs and rodents, the health concerns associated with pests and pesticides, and the resident's role in preventing, controlling and reporting pests in their home.
