Please join us for this webinar series for information you can use about good and bad insects. We will discuss how you can help pollinators and other good insects by using pesticides properly. We will also talk about how to control insects we think of as bad, like fire ants, vegetable bugs, a new invasive fruit fly, and cockroaches. Snakes aren’t insects but they can be good and bad, so we will have a webinar about them too. Webinars will be on the first Friday of each month at 2 p.m. Eastern time.
