Why do we need a facility?
Research and demonstrate current indoor pest identification and IPM strategies
Help bridge the gap between newly licensed and no experience SPIs and PMPs more knowledgeable on latest
technology Reduce number of inaccurate inspections and
unnecessary pesticide applications Facilities in other states (GA, LA, IN, SC, OK)
have been very successful
