Biorational Pesticides: Eco-friendly Pest Control

Join us for an hour-long discussion around biorational pesticides: alternative options to conventional pesticides. Biorational pesticides cover a broad range of low environmental impact substances or products typically derived from natural or biological origins.

This includes biological pesticides as well as synthetic biorational materials. Learn about the products that can provide control of pest problems while also being environmentally safe. You will learn about the products and their use within an integrated pest management (IPM) program that strives for long-term control of pests, while supporting a healthy ecosystem.
