SUMMARY:Evolving Tools for Bed Bug Control: Technology\, Treatment\, and Sustainability
DESCRIPTION:As bed bug challenges evolve\, so do the tools and technologies used to manage them. In this webinar\, Dr. Aaron Ashbrook\, Assistant Professor of Urban/Peri-Urban Entomology at Louisiana State University\, will explore the latest advances in bed bug control\, including new insecticides\, detection methods\, and integrated management strategies. We will also discuss the environmental implications of infestations and control measures\, and how effective management can reduce contamination risks and improve outcomes across different settings. The presentation will highlight practical considerations for selecting and implementing these tools in real-world environments\, from residential properties to commercial and public facilities. Participants will gain a clearer understanding of how emerging technologies and evidence-based practices can enhance program efficiency and long-term success.

SUMMARY:From Droppings to Doorsteps: The Public Health Impact of Flies and Roaches
DESCRIPTION:Unwanted pests aren’t just a nuisance—they’re a serious public health concern. Flies and cockroaches can spread dangerous pathogens through their activities and movements\, affecting homes\, food businesses\, medical facilities\, and communities. \nThe National Environmental Health Association presents “From Droppings to Doorsteps: The Public Health Impact of Flies and Roaches\,” a one‑hour webinar that explores the critical public health importance of these species\, offers practical strategies for integrated pest management (IPM)\, and shows how to support healthier environments through prevention and communication. \nRegistration is required to receive webinar link.

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: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.
