If you missed the March 2nd StopPests webinar "The ABC's of Pest Control: Allergens, Baits, and Cockroaches" you can now watch the recording at StopPests.org by following the above link. Dr. Coby Schal of North Carolina State shared his research results on effectively managing cockroaches with baits in contrast with ineffective bug bombs or TRFs (total release foggers). Not only are the chemicals in the over-the-counter bug bombs ineffective but they unnecessarily expose people to chemical residues left behind. Dr. Schal's research indicates a significant reduction in cockroach allergens is possible with an IPM approach including monitoring, baits and vacuuming. You'll hear advice on effective cockroach baiting techniques including bait rotation, and placement, and product suggestions. This webinar is for all housing staff, pest management professionals, and advocates for safe pest control in housing.Watch the video of his presentation, get a pdf of the presentation, view the Q&A and even download a certificate of completion after viewing at this page on the StopPests website: www.stoppests.org/go/cockroachcontrol
