The PMP-client partnership is especially important when it comes to rodent control. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently updated its website (www.cdc.gov) with helpful rodent management guidelines that can assist with this partnership. Resources provided by CDC include brochures that pest management professionals can provide to clients to help educate them about rodents and the diseases they can transmit.
