Practical solutions to pest problems on the first Friday of every month
Each month, experts will share practical information and answer questions on using integrated pest management (IPM) to avoid pest problems and promote a healthy environment where you live, work, learn and play. We’ll end with an IPM Minute, and cover a specific action you can take in the next few days to help you avoid pest problems.
Join us Live, on the first Friday of every month from Noon to 12:30 EST on Zoom or check out recordings of our past events.
