About the UK Pest Control Short Course

Conference Chairman Dr. Zachary DeVries chronicles the program’s history as follows:

While not so short anymore, the University of Kentucky Pest Control Short Course rose out of the idea that the pest control industry needed education in both the basic and applied aspects of pest management. While many conferences offer strong training, we pride ourselves in providing cutting-edge information on how pests function and behave along with practical information as to how this can be translated into improved pest management. Our speakers regularly include academics, technical directors, government/state regulatory officials, and more, which provides attendees with a diverse set of perspectives on all things pest control.

This conference has been running for over 50 years, and although we’ve seen a lot of changes during that time, one thing has remained consistent: We are committed to providing the highest quality program and training possible.
