SANTA FE SPRINGS, Calif. – Target Specialty Products hosted its 12th annual fumigation school in cooperation with Dow AgroSciences and the University of California Riverside. The event took place at U.C. Riverside, Feb. 5-6.
More than 50 fumigators attended the two-day course. The first day included classroom instruction on termite biology, properties of fumigants, proper measurement of structures, inspection techniques and regulatory issues.
The second day included Vikane dosage calculations and monitoring followed by a whole-house fumigation. Lee Whitmore and Larry Perez of Beneficial Exterminating, Inc. facilitated the demonstration. Presenters demonstrated each phase of the fumigation process from the inspection to the release of the fumigant.
“We are pleased to donate $3,000, the proceeds from the meeting, to UCR’s Urban Entomology Endowed Research Fund," stated Target’s Fumigation Business Manager Dean Osborn.
In the 12-year history of the event, Target has donated the event proceeds, totaling over $27,000, to the University of California Riverside Urban Entomology Endowed Research Fund.
