Abstract

Being a pest manager is much more than just spraying pesticides. There is an entire process of diagnosing the pest situation and developing a plan using an integrated approach. This poster acquaints new pest control technicians with the steps in integrated pest management (IPM). The poster has quick response (QR) codes that direct smartphones to short videos highlighting each step in the IPM Process.
