Beyond the Pest | Ep. 9 — Dr. Stan Cope

During a live Beyond the Pest podcast at the conference, Dr. Stan Cope joined hosts Jennifer Sweeney and Michael Thome to explore practical, science-based mosquito control. The discussion highlighted four key conducive conditions PMPs must identify: cool, dark, moist and out of the wind. Cope also shared end-of-season strategies that target overwintering female mosquitoes and debunked common mosquito myths. He explained why some people get bitten more than others, and emphasized evidence-based tools such as traps, drones, larvicides, and integrated mosquito management approaches over gimmicks and folklore.
