Register for Nov. 14 Stop Pests Webinar: Integrated Pest Management
-- A Simple Solution to Problem Pests in Elderly and Disabled
Housing --
Multifamily housing owners and management agents are invited to register for
the free Stop Pests webinar on Wednesday, Nov. 14 from 1-2:30 p.m. EST. Click
here to register.
Three doctors from the Arizona Pest Management Center, University of Arizona –
Dawn H. Gouge, Ph.D.; Shujuan (Lucy) Li, Ph.D.; and Shakunthala (Shaku) Nair,
Ph.D. – describe efforts to implement an integrated pest management program in
HUD subsidized multiunit properties that house low-income older adults and
persons with disabilities. Results over 2.8 years, across 5 buildings,
showed significant reduction of German cockroaches and bed bugs.
Averaging reductions across all sites, there was an 87% reduction in
units with German cockroaches and an 93% reduction in units with bed bugs.
Learn how the team accomplished this with available pest management tools,
regular inspections and monitoring and adopting strategies appropriate for
residents and staff. These tools can be applied to your housing site to
achieve similar success. Managing pests is not out of reach in elderly
and disabled housing. Pest management and housing professionals can tune
in to find out how to duplicate this successful approach in their own buildings
and developments.
