Did you know that families may be exposed to up to 70 times more pollution inside the home than outside!

Dizziness. Wheezing. Asthma attacks. Even cancer. Learn how to limit exposure to indoor health hazards, including

those caused by pests.

 

This IPM in Multi-Family Housing course is designed to help a property manager, including a public housing authority, implement a comprehensive integrated pest management (IPM) program by bringing the stakeholders, especially resident leaders, together to develop the skills and practices needed to effectively eliminate pests such as cockroaches and rodents from multi-family housing. The target audiences for the course are resident leaders and staff with a common property manager who want more effective pest control through integrated pest management (IPM). The course strongly encourages the active participation of the pest control operator / pest management professional as well as property maintenance and resident support services.
