Powderpost beetles are second only to termites in their threat to seasoned wood, according to PCT's "Your Guide to Powderpost Beetles," which was authored Dr. Michael Potter. Management of these pest infestations can be challenging and requires diligence and attention to detail. Join Mike Robinson, owner of Waverly Pest Control, Wappingers Falls, N.Y., to learn how he protected seven structures from powderpost beetles on an estate that includes 22 structures (everything from an old firehouse, to storage barns, to special event barns). Robinson will review how he overcame the challenges of this account by using the right products, equipment and treatment strategies in this webinar, sponsored by Nisus Corp. Attendees will also hear from a representative of Nisus Corp.

In a time where many pest control companies have seen great success with historically high growth, this success comes with challenges. One of the biggest challenges continues to be a lack of leadership, specifically within mid-level management.

Our industry has historically been a “next person up” type of business. Our businesses grow which creates capacity challenges. Consequently, we hire more technicians to meet capacity needs but find ourselves in a pickle when we need to hire or promote a new leader. Most businesses look from within the ranks of their technicians to fill this need. We promote from within and wish our new manager well and move on to the next fire of the day.

Come ready to learn the basic foundational blocks to: • Support your new manager leading to positive results and not repeat the same mistakes • Train managers with the tools on how to properly deal with people • Develop managers that manage their time successfully

We hope you join us where you will gain these necessary tools your managers need to be successful in their new roles.
