Integrated Pest Management in Hospitals
Thursday, May 24, 2012 | 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT

Cockroaches, rodents, ants, etc. are a serious threat to the sanitary well-being of a hospital. Even one cockroach or ant could prove to be a threat to a particular patient. By their very nature, however, hospitals are extremely sensitive environments in which to perform pest management practices. A pest management service professional's options are often severely limited in the methods that can be utilized to control a pest infestation in many areas of a hospital. Innovative approaches and methods are therefore necessary in order to keep a hospital as free from pest activity as possible. Attend this live Webinar to learn procedures that can be implemented.
