Order form available on page 11 11

INTRODUCTIONAbout Purdue’s Pest Management Programs Purdue University is proud to be a leader in technical education for the pest control industry. For nearly 30 years, Purdue’s pest management correspondence courses have been the “training of choice” for thousands of pest management professionals. National pest management companies have adopted a number of the courses as standard training for their employees, and nearly every state in the country has approved one or more of the courses for certification or re-certification.

Incorporating the latest in integrated pest management (IPM) techniques, the programs contain easy-to-read assignments and lessons that you complete at your own pace and mail to Purdue to be graded. After completing your lessons, you will receive instructions on selecting a test proctor to administer your final exam. Your proctor will administer the exam and then return it to Purdue University to be graded. Students who pass the final exam will receive a Purdue University Certificate of Completion.

With the exception of the current version of the textbook, Truman’s Scientific Guide to Pest Management Operations, 7th Edition, all course materials are provided upon enrollment. You may purchase the textbook when you enroll, or locate one elsewhere on your own.

More than 90 percent of program participants have ranked Purdue’s Pest Management programs as excellent in providing the information needed to maximize their success as urban pest managers, enabling them to offer the latest technologies in IPM services to their customers. Participants have reported that Purdue’s urban pest management programs are “The most comprehensive” and “most up-to-date” of all the available continuing education programs.

Gary W. BennettPurdue’s pest management programs were developed under the tutelage of Gary W. Bennett, professor of entomology and director of Purdue’s Center for Urban and Industrial Pest Management (CUIPM). Developed primarily for the pest control industry, the courses are part of a continuing urban and industrial pest management curriculum designed to provide the pest control industry with accessible and affordable university-quality training.

IPM IN PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND LANDSCAPES

The need for safe pest management in public areas is beyond question. Development and implementation of a specific IPM

(Integrated Pest Management) program, however, is often difficult, always site specific, and constantly in need of monitoring. This course will train profes-sional pest managers and public building and landscape managers to work together to develop and implement safe, effective IPM programs in sensitive public areas such as schools, daycares, restaurants, museums, hospitals, and parks, where mismanage-ment could lead to serious human and environmental harm. You will learn why pests and pesticides can become safety issues; when, where, and how pesticides can be used effectively and responsibly; what is policy and what is law; and how to recognize the key pests of buildings and landscapes. Emphasis is placed on the importance of partnerships in developing effective IPM programs.

Who will benefit from this course? • Professional pest managers • Public building managers • Landscape managers • Environmental advocates • Childcare safety advocates • EPA, USDA, and regulatory personnel



Cost: $218.00 Course Fee (includes all course materials)

Fees $10.00 Domestic Postage and Handling

INTERMEDIATE AND ADVANCED LEVEL URBAN AND INDUSTRIAL IPMBuilding on the basics covered in Pest Management Technology, these courses empha-size the importance of approaching urban and industrial pest management problems with a true Integrated Pest Management (IPM) philosophy. These courses will challenge you to formulate responses to questions by analyzing given situations and applying knowledge gained from course materials, outside readings, and on-the-job experience.

You may enroll in either the Intermediate or Advanced option. Both options cover the same topics; however, the degree of difficulty varies. The Intermediate option is for students with limited experience in pest control. Coursework is at a lower level and you are not required to perform significant outside reading. The Advanced option is for students with significant experience in pest control. Test questions are more difficult and numerous outside readings are required. It is not necessary to take both the Intermedi-ate and Advanced options.

You are expected to occasionally consult current pest management textbooks, such as Truman’s Scientific Guide to Pest Management Operations or The Mallis Handbook of Pest Control. You may purchase a copy of the Truman’s guide at the time of enrollment. You will have one year to complete the Intermediate option, and 18 months to complete the Advanced option. You can expect to study three to five hours per lesson.

Lesson Topics • Pest Management of the New Millennium • Advanced Applications of Entomology • Integrated Pest Management (IPM): An In-Depth Look at IPM and Urban and

Industrial Pest Management • Low-Impact Pest Management and a Quick Review of Basic Insecticide Chemistry • Pyrethrins and Pyrethroids • The Inorganics • The Biologicals and Biorationals • Organophosphates, Carbamates, and Fluorinated Hydrocarbons• Low-Impact Liquid Sprays: Wettable Powders and Microencapsulations

NATIONAL WILDLIFE CONTROL - IPMThe course is structured to inform you of the fundamental knowledge and skills needed to perform wildlife damage man-agement in a safe, responsible, effective, and ethical manner. The Basic Course consists of 14 separate lessons that are divided into two sections.

Section 1, the Core Curriculum, contains nine lessons. These lessons are considered “core” because they contain information every wildlife control operator (WCO) should know regardless of where he/she lives. In other words, the content of these nine lessons is not tied to a particular region.

Section 2, Species Lessons, review the specific facts and techniques used to manage human-wildlife conflicts with five specific animal groups: Bats, Raccoons, Skunks, Tree Squirrels, and Unprotected Birds. The five selected animal groups represent the diversity of issues and control methods needed to handle almost any wildlife problem. If you know how to handle these groups, you can easily learn to control others. Only control methods that are considered suitable for wildlife control operators are included. Be sure to check your state and local laws to see if the discussed methods are legal in your area as the only methods excluded were those illegal at the Federal level.

Section 1 Lesson Topics• Principles of Wildlife Management• Physical Safety• Disease Safety• Inspections• Control Methods: Includes an entire section on fur-trapping tools• Animal Handling• Euthanasia and Carcass Disposal• Business Practices• Ethics and Laws

Section 2 Lesson Topics• Bats: Biology, Damage Identification, and Control Methods. • Raccoons: Biology, Damage Identification, and Control Methods. • Skunks: Biology, Damage Identification, and Control Methods. • Tree Squirrels: Biology, Damage Identification, and Control Methods. • Unprotected Birds: Biology, Damage Identification, and Control Methods.

Who will benefit from this course?• Wildlife control operators• Pest control operators• Nuisance wildlife control operators• Real estate professionals• Food plant personnel• Quality assurance managers• Warehouse managers
