We’re proud to pass along this announcement from the EPA regarding their upcoming webinar.
Excluding Pests from Schools
Wherever children go, pests follow – even back to school. Pests know where the goodies can be found and they strive to find a way into the building – under doors, through cracks in masonry, in gaps around pipes and wires – they find a way. Pest issues are universal – from rural to urban schools and all types of neighborhoods in-between. The best way to defeat them in their quest to inhabit your schools is to exclude them from entering the school buildings in the first place. NYSIPM’s Jody Gangloff-Kaufmann and Matt Frye will help you to identify the most likely places of entry in your buildings and the surest way to seal them out.
Attend this free webinar to learn where pests are entering schools and how to keep them out.
Sept. 22 | 2-3:30 p.m. EDT | Followed by a 30-minute Q&A
