The course covers:

2. How to effectively prevent and manage pests within a housing community with the least risk of pesticide exposure for residents and staff; and
3. How to troubleshoot pest control failures.

Missed a session? we'll post recordings of the sessions on this page. Check back a few days after the live webinar.

These webinars are interactive, including polls, chats and Q&A. Although we have scheduled 2 hours for each session, they will likely be 90 minutes or shorter depending on attendance and participation levels.

If 5 or more staff members from the same HUD-assisted housing site (public housing authority/commission, section 8, 202, 811, or tribal housing department) complete the course we'll send you a box of printed resident resources, traps, monitors, and pest control related supplies.
