Join veteran PMP Alan Feuer, associate certified entomologist (ACE) of Albuquerque, N.M., for a deep dive into powderpost beetles. Feuer will review commonly encountered powderpost beetles, inspection tips and treatment strategies. He’ll also share experiences he’s had managing these pests in the field.
