Commercial Kitchens Focus of Whitmire Micro-Gen Seminars

ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Whitmire Micro-Gen recently announced a series of Skill Development Seminars designed to help pest management professionals manage pest populations in commercial kitchens using the latest IPM techniques.

The one-day seminars, led by renowned entomologist Jeffrey Tucker, breaks down the complex commercial kitchen environment into more than a dozen habitat zones from food preparation and storage areas to floor drains and perimeter treatment zones. “More than 100 photos and over a dozen video segments bring the audience into a real account, making the learning experience fun, real and memorable,” says Whitmire Micro-Gen President Andy Symons.
