SUMMARY:Webinar: Using Tick Population Dynamics Models to Assess Control Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Don’t miss the Tick IPM Working Group‘s upcoming free webinar presented by Dr. David Allen\, Associate Professor of Biology at Middlebury College. \n  \nTick control strategies have been shown to reduce tick density and\, consequently\, the risk of tick-borne diseases. However\, it is often challenging to assess which strategy is most cost-effective or how its effectiveness varies across ecological or climate settings. Tick population dynamics models offer powerful tools for assessing questions like these\, which would be difficult\, costly\, or infeasible to test empirically. This presentation will demonstrate such applications\, while also addressing the inherent limitations of using theoretical models to answer real-world ecological questions. \n  \nAdvanced Registration is required.

SUMMARY:Uninvited Tenants: Understanding Urban Rodent Behavior Through the Lens of Their World Webinar
DESCRIPTION:This presentation examines the biology and behaviour of the three dominant commensal rodent species in urban environments\, Mus musculus\, Rattus rattus\, and Rattus norvegicus\, through the world each species inhabits. Using video-recorded field observations\, the talk explores how species-specific biology\, neophobia\, and route fidelity drive predictable patterns of pest control equipment detection\, avoidance\, and habituation. The central argument is that equipment avoidance is not random\, it is rooted in rodent biology\, and that understanding it leads to more informed placement\, selection\, and management strategy. \n  \nKurtis Brown\, Associate Certified Entomologist\, and Training Manager for Orkin Canada is the featured speaker. \n  \nThis free webinar is part of the Gulf South VECTOR Center for Training\, Outreach and Resources Webinar Series. Registration is required.

SUMMARY:Rodent Control Frontiers: Monitoring Technology and the Science Behind Smarter Solutions
DESCRIPTION:For decades\, rodent management has relied on the same old formula—bait\, traps\, and routine technician visits. But despite enormous investments from global cities and industries\, rodents continue to thrive\, wreaking havoc on infrastructure\, utilities\, food systems\, and supply chains. With billions in damages each year and traditional methods falling short\, the pest control industry faces a critical turning point. The old tools aren’t keeping pace with the scale of the challenge. \nNow\, a new generation of monitoring technology is rewriting the playbook. By collecting real-time data\, identifying behavioral patterns\, and using AI to forecast risks\, pest control professionals can move from reactive extermination to proactive prevention. These innovations don’t just reduce infestations—they save time\, cut costs\, and support sustainability goals. \nIn this forward-looking webinar\, Michael Moran\, CMO and Chief Risk & Sustainability Officer\, and Courtney Carace\, Owner and COO of Pest-End\, will guide participants through how digital tools and data-driven insights are transforming the industry and giving professionals the upper hand in a battle that has raged for centuries. \nRegister using the Event Website link above.

SUMMARY:Understanding Insecticide Resistance Webinar Series | Part II
DESCRIPTION:The Importance of Understanding Resistance Mechanisms and Management Theories  \nInsecticide resistance occurs when genetic changes in mosquitoes\, driven by insecticide exposure\, compromise control efforts in the field. Laboratory and field tests play a critical role in determining whether an insecticide or product remains effective. In this webinar\, Janet McAllister will discuss resistance mechanisms and their impact on cross- and multi-resistance\, highlighting how identifying these mechanisms can inform alternative control strategies. She will also explore the three key theories of resistance management—moderation\, saturation\, and multiple methods—to provide practical approaches for tackling resistance. \nMeet the Speaker \nJanet McAllister\, Principal Research Entomologist\, City of New Orleans Mosquito\, Termite and Rodent Control Board \nDr. Janet McAllister is a board-Certified Medical Entomologist. She earned her undergraduate and master’s degrees from Louisiana State University.  Her PhD in Medical Entomology comes from the University of Arkansas.  Dr. McAllister retired as a Research Entomologist from the CDC Division of Vector-Borne Diseases in May 2024 after 20 years of public service evaluating the efficacy of mosquito control tools and responding to outbreaks and natural disasters. She is currently the Principal Research Entomologist for the City of New Orleans Mosquito\, Termite and Rodent Control Board where she supervises the mosquito control unit. Dr. McAllister’s research specialties are insecticide resistance and mosquito control evaluation. She is a Past President of the American Mosquito Control Association\, Louisiana Mosquito Control Association and West Central Mosquito and Vector Control Association. She is also an AMCA Medal of Honor recipient for outstanding contributions to the science and control of mosquitoes\, other vectors and vector-borne diseases.

SUMMARY:Understanding Insecticide Resistance - Part I
DESCRIPTION:Understanding Insecticide Resistance – Part I \nBasic Principles of Resistance Development and Detection Before Product Failure \nMosquitoes are highly effective disease vectors\, transmitting illnesses to humans\, pets\, and livestock. While the most prominent mosquito-borne diseases vary by region\, some—like malaria and dengue—are now spreading to new areas\, including recent cases in the United States. During outbreaks\, insecticides are the primary tool for controlling pathogen transmission\, but resistance can make outbreaks harder to manage. In this webinar\, Janet McAllister\, Principal Research Entomologist for the City of New Orleans Mosquito\, Termite\, and Rodent Control Board\, will discuss insecticide resistance\, its development\, factors that influence it\, and methods for detecting resistance before insecticides lose effectiveness.
