The 2017
webinar series All Bugs Good and Bad starts today (Friday, February 3, 2017).
Please join us for this webinar series for information you can use about good
and bad insects. We used your feedback to bring topics that you suggested
for 2017. We will discuss troublesome insects such as invasive
ants, landscape pests, vegetable pests, and house dwellers as well as arachnids
too. Not all insects are bad, though, come and meet some of our native
pollinators! The series kicks off today with “Don’t let tramp ants take over your home”!
Friday, February 3 at 1:00 pm CST
It's
frustrating when ants march into our homes, schools, and buildings. Tramp ants
such as Argentine ants and odorous house ants can be very frustrating to deal
with especially if we are trying to control them the wrong way. Get a plan!
Learn practical tips for preventing problems from these pests in this webinar
presented by Dr. Karen Vail, Professor, University of Tennessee. Moderated by Mallory Kelley and David Koon, Regional Extension Agents,
Alabama Cooperative Extension System. Click here to login as a guest and
