Occasional Invaders

Occasional Invaders Presentation 

I hope this slideshow will come in handy for any of my fellow exterminators out there.  There really are too many occasional invaders to highlight in any one hour ceu class, so I chose a few of my favorites.  If you find in helpful, let me know.

Stored Product Beetles

A presentation to help identify and control pantry pest beetles.  I find that these beetles can sometimes be quite difficult.  I hope you find it helpful.

Urban Spiders

I would like to apologize for my lack of posts.  I had a couple of projects and some conferences to attend which, unfortunately, took up any spare time that I had.  So, for this post, I am linking one of those projects.  It is a broad overview of spiders both the PMP and the homeowner are likely to encounter from simple biology to management.
