Dr. Andrew Sutherland

FMC True Champions will host its next First Friday webinar, titled “Integrated Pest Management – History & Applications,” on April 5 at 10:30 a.m. Eastern.

The one-hour event will be presented with real-world examples of how the central tenets of integrated pest management (IPM) apply to pest systems such as German cockroaches and bed bugs in multi-unit housing, peridomestic cockroaches at public school sites, yellowjacket wasps in parks and picnic areas, subterranean termites attacking single-family homes, and more.
