IPM in Multifamily Housing Course
The HUD-supported StopPests in Housing Program is offering a live online course for housing professionals offered Thursdays, April 21st - May 12th, 2022 (full schedule below) There is no charge for this course.
The IPM in Multifamily Housing Course was designed to help housing professionals understand their roles in supporting safe and effective pest control in their communities.
The course outlines:
- how to manage pests within a housing community using effective strategies that pose no risk or minimal risk of pesticide exposure;
- the major health risks posed by common pests;
- the biology and behavior of the major pests of housing (bed bugs, cockroaches, and rodents);
- how to troubleshoot pest control failures.
If 5 or more staff members from the same HUD-assisted housing site (public housing authority/commission, section 8, 202, 811, or tribal housing department) complete the course we'll send you a box of pest control supplies including printed resident resources, traps, and monitors. If you have less than 5 staff members, let us know!
These webinars are interactive, including polls, chats and Q&A. Sessions will generally run for 90 minutes but timing may vary depending on attendance and participation levels. We have scheduled two hours for each session. They run from 12:00 - 2:00 PM CST
