Instructor: Sarah Racine
Pests can cause significant damage to structural components, furnishings, fabrics, and stored items, leading to substantial economic losses. Not only that, but some pests also have the potential to spread diseases and inflict painful stings and bites. Weeds also pose a threat by compromising the appearance of structures, creating fire or safety hazards, and serving as a haven for other pests. In commercial areas, nuisance pests can even contaminate products or result in legal complications.

Dive into strategies for managing pest populations, conducting thorough inspections, implementing monitoring, and trapping techniques, understanding the importance of weed control, selecting appropriate pesticide formulations, and mastering the identification and management of common food pests.
