Stinging insects play critical ecological roles, preying on pest insects, serving as key pollinators and cycling nutrients. However, we tend to notice them more when they are being a nuisance, or for some individuals, posing life-threatening health risks. It’s for the latter reasons that pest management professionals who control stinging insects are important public health protectors.
In this MGK-sponsored webinar, Mark VanderWerp, manager of education & training, Rose Pest Solutions, reviewed identification tips and the lifecycles of commonly encountered stinging insects; effective management strategies; staying safe on the job; working in public spaces; and case studies.
