Course Survey for Pest Control Professionals

Protecting people and pets from pests requires more than spot treatments—it demands an integrated, evidence-based approach. Integrated Pest Exposures and Control for Humans and Pets equips pest control professionals and facility teams with practical skills to identify, assess, and control bites, allergens, secondary infections, and pest-borne disease risks across homes, multi-unit housing, shelters, kennels, veterinary clinics, and community settings. Through the lens of Integrated Pest Management (IPM), you will learn species ID essentials for bed bugs, fleas, and ants; recognize bite and sting patterns in humans and common signs in pets; and translate environmental evidence into decisive field diagnostics. The course also tackles cockroach allergens as a major driver of asthma, showing how to reduce airborne particulates with sanitation, exclusion, HEPA methods, and targeted low-toxicity baits. You’ll gain client-safe control strategies, from heat, steam, and encasements to IGRs, baits, and dusts—always with label compliance and resistance management. Finally, connect the dots between scratching and secondary infections, and understand the public health pathways of cockroaches and commensal rodents. By course end, you’ll build site-specific IPM plans, communicate clearly with sensitive clients, document outcomes for compliance, and verify long-term results with monitoring and follow-up.

            <p>Integrated Pest Exposures and Control for Humans and Pets equips pest control professionals to recognize, assess, and mitigate the full spectrum of harms caused by insects and commensal pests across residential, multi-unit, shelter, kennel, veterinary, and community environments. The course frames exposure pathways and categories of harm—bites and stings, allergen exposures, secondary skin infections, and pest-transmitted diseases—within professional practice standards and the tenets of Integrated Pest Management (IPM). Early modules build on species identification and site evidence, differentiating bed bugs, fleas, and stinging/biting ants, and translating field diagnostics into practical thresholds for action. You will map risk factors such as clutter, shared walls, pet bedding, and yard conditions, and align interventions to minimize hazards for children, sensitive clients, and animals while maintaining compliance with labeling and local regulations.</p>
<p>Building on this foundation, the course advances through targeted control strategies and client-centered implementation. You will design and execute IPM plans that integrate inspection, encasements, laundering, heat and steam, vacuuming, and pet care measures alongside judicious use of baits, dusts, insect growth regulators, and traps—always with safety, resistance management, and verification in mind. Specialized modules address cockroach allergens as asthma triggers, prioritizing source reduction, HEPA-based cleaning, structural exclusion, and low-toxicity control tactics to reduce airborne particulates. Additional content focuses on preventing secondary infections driven by scratching, clarifying technician role boundaries and referral criteria, and strengthening client education to reduce reinfestation and complaint recurrence. A public health module examines disease pathways involving rodents and cockroaches, emphasizing exclusion and sanitation at critical control points and coordination with health and veterinary partners. The course culminates in building a site-specific, outcome-driven IPM plan that documents inspections, intervention selection for sensitive populations, measurable results (infestation levels, allergen proxies, bite logs, sanitation scores), and structured follow-up—reinforced by knowledge checks and a final survey to consolidate learning and inform future practice.</p>
