PCT Rodent Control Virtual Conference Overview
Eliminating the occasional mouse or rat that enters a structure is typically not very difficult. But managing rodent infestations in complex urban settings or in and around commercial facilities is much more challenging.
The goal is not to kill individual rodents but rather to efficiently manage and, where possible, eliminate local rodent populations in an environmentally responsible fashion. This can only be done with both an applied approach using situational analysis, together with a sound understanding of the science behind rodent biology and behavior.
To assist our readers in successfully controlling rodents in urban settings and complex commercial accounts, PCT is pleased to host its Second Annual Rodent Control Virtual Conference.
