Inspectors training and learning at the Structural Pest Research and Demonstration Facility

WSU Structural Pest IPM

Our goal is to train professionals to reduce the number of inaccurate wood-destroying organism inspections and reduce the potential health risks from unnecessary or improper pesticide applications. A trained workforce of structural pest inspectors and pest management professionals will be more knowledgeable about identification of structural pests, conditions conducive to pest infestations, and integrated pest management (IPM) techniques.
