Sorkin’s “Kitchens & Unwanted Guests” presentation is on such insect pests as cockroaches, flies and beetles associated with commercial kitchens and cafeterias. Identification of pest species is covered. The “Turfgrass Insects” webinar will discuss the key pests of turfgrass, such as white grubs, fall armyworms, cut worms, sod webworms, chinch bugs, bill bugs, and European crane flies, as well as methods to control them.

The FMC 1st Friday program provides monthly webinars, with CEU credits typically offered in 20 to 30 states.

“We’re excited for December to include both pest and lawn webinars that are not only important to professionals, but these have been requested topics by previous webinar attendees,” said Mike Sisti, North America Marketing Manager at FMC Professional Solutions. “All three of our presenters are well respected experts who bring knowledge and insight, and we are proud to share their approved industry courses.”
