Course description:
The IPM in Multifamily Housing Course was designed to help housing professionals understand their roles in supporting safe and effective pest control in their communities. The course covers:
-
how to effectively manage pests within a housing community with the least risk of pesticide exposure;
-
the major health risks posed by common pests;
-
the biology and behavior of the major pests of housing (bed bugs, cockroaches and rodents);
-
and how to troubleshoot pest control failures.
These webinars are interactive, including polls, chats and Q&A. We have scheduled 2 hours for each session, they may be shorter depending on attendance and participation levels.
