About the Event
Integrated Pest Management
Description: Integrated Pest Management, or IPM, is a sustainable approach to pest control. Unlike conventional pest control methods which rely on chemical pesticides, IPM integrates multiple approaches to minimize pest damage while also minimizing risks to human health and the environment. The key principles, and general and specific controls will be discussed.

Prior to self employment, Barbara worked as a ceramic engineer, special librarian, and environmental engineer. She has a dieffenbachia plant (really a cutting from it) that she bought over 50 years ago.
