Although math may not be everyone’s favorite subject, it is important that PMPs use the correct measurements and calculations for their pre- and post-construction termiticide treatments. Calculation mistakes could lead to issues beyond the effectiveness of the treatment. Carefully reading product labels is always key, but for more hands-on training, consider joining a pest control “academy.” These events often are available across the country and can provide in-depth experiences, focusing on the proper application of termiticides.

To learn about options and availability in your area, reach out to your local urban entomology program or the National Pest Management Association (NPMA).
