UPCOMING WEBINAR
 

Let's talk about the weather — and its impact on pests
Tips and guidance for the most successful preventive action plans for seasonal invaders.
 
Date: Oct. 21
Sponsored content by: BASF

Meteorologists and pest management professionals (PMPs) have to take into account many factors when forecasting weather or seasonal pest patterns, respectively. A customer might have a go-to meteorologist on whom they rely for expertise and reliability. They will have the same expectations of their PMPs, when it comes to solving seasonal pest problems - with a lot more accuracy! During this webinar, Dr. Tim Husen, BCE, from BASF will offer tips and guidance on the most successful preventive action plans for seasonal invaders. He will highlight:

  • What's in a forecast
  • Seasonal vs. occasional pests and the factors influencing them
  • The usual suspects - Is ID important?
  • Corrective action - What’s your plan?
  • Advising and managing customer expectations
