19 May 2010

Tab 1: Conference Overview

Pest control and public health are inextricably linked, and whilst modern solutions to pest control have radically affected the way in which health is protected by the pest control industry and the government, pest control still presents significant challenges.

  • Practical hints and tips to help you perform your role in pest control more effectively
  • Advice on the most up to date and effective pest control methods
  • Which methods do not work and should be avoided

  • A comprehensive look at future issues and challenges
  • Working with small companies on taking pest control seriously
