Advances in Pest Management

The goal of pest management is to make the treatment as pest-specific as possible. But what if we could use chemical treatments that could be species-selective? In this webinar, Dr. Horak will present research conducted by the USDA National Wildlife Research Center that is focused on intelligent design of chemical treatments that will lead us into the next generation of toxicants. We will also hear from Dr. Quinn, who will explain the newest research concerning commensal rodent behavior and how we can use that pest-specific behavior to our advantage in our integrated rodent management plan.
