SUMMARY:Bed Bugs Uncovered: Identifying\, Preventing\, and Protecting
DESCRIPTION:Bed bugs can infest a wide range of environments—from homes and hotels to public facilities—creating unique challenges for prevention and control. In this webinar\, Dr. Aaron Ashbrook\, Assistant Professor of Urban/Peri-Urban Entomology at Louisiana State University\, will examine how bed bugs are introduced and persist in different settings\, and how their biology influences their survival and spread. Participants will also learn practical strategies to protect themselves during inspections\, recognize key signs of infestation\, and apply leading practices for early detection and response. The discussion will also explore common misconceptions about bed bug behavior and control\, helping participants distinguish between effective and ineffective management approaches. Attendees will come away with actionable insights to improve monitoring protocols\, reduce the risk of spread\, and enhance overall program effectiveness.

SUMMARY:A Roadmap to Building a Prepared\, Responsive\, & Resilient Environmental Public Health Program
DESCRIPTION:Over the past decade\, the United States has endured more than 300 major disasters—hurricanes contaminating drinking water\, wildfires fueling toxic air emergencies\, floods overwhelming wastewater systems\, and storms turning debris into widespread public health threats. The cost of being unprepared is too high. \nEvery disaster tells the same story: communities with strong preparedness assessments and coordinated planning recover faster\, safeguard public health more effectively\, and reduce both human and financial losses. This seminar offers a proven framework to ensure your organization is ready when it matters most. \nThis Changes Everything.\nJoin us for an in-depth exploration of the National Environmental Health Association’s newly released Environmental Public Health Emergency Response Capability Assessment Guide. Our experts will walk you through the 15 Core Functions of the EPH Emergency Preparedness and Response Capability Framework and provide step-by-step guidance for conducting your own capability assessment. \nThe Bottom Line:\nThis tool equips environmental public health programs with a systematic method to identify vulnerabilities before disaster strikes—your roadmap to becoming more prepared\, more responsive\, and more resilient. \nBy attending\, you will learn to: \n\nInterpret and apply the 15 Core Functions within the EPH Emergency Preparedness and Response Capability Framework.\nConduct and utilize the EPH Emergency Response Capability Assessment effectively.\nStrengthen public health protection through informed\, proactive preparedness planning.

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:Rodent Control Foundations: Behavior\, Risks\, and Real-World Challenges
DESCRIPTION:Rodents are among the most persistent and destructive pests in the United States\, posing serious health\, safety\, and structural concerns in both residential and commercial settings. This webinar explores the foundational principles of rodent control through a close look at the most commonly encountered species in the United States\, highlighting how their biology and behavior drive infestation patterns and shape effective control strategies. \nInspection techniques will be addressed\, with attention to identifying signs of rodent activity\, locating entry points\, and recognizing conditions that support infestation. A key component of the webinar will be the introduction to Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies where Janet Hurley\, ACE\, MPA\, Senior Extension Program Specialist – IPM at Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service\, will emphasize the importance of using multiple tactics—such as exclusion\, sanitation\, monitoring\, trapping\, and targeted rodenticide applications—for long-term control and prevention. The discussion will also address the proper use\, and common misuse\, of rodenticides along with considerations related to safety and regulatory compliance. \nThrough this comprehensive exploration\, the session offers a practical foundation for addressing one of the most adaptable and challenging pests in modern pest management. \nRegister using the Event Website link above.
