Rodent Control Webinar Series
Rodent Control Foundations: Behavior, Risks, and Real-World Challenges
Tuesday October 28, 2025
2:00pm ET
Rodents are among the most persistent and destructive pests in the United States, posing serious health, safety, and structural concerns in both residential and commercial settings. This webinar explores the foundational principles of rodent control through a close look at the most commonly encountered species in the United States, highlighting how their biology and behavior drive infestation patterns and shape effective control strategies.
Inspection techniques will be addressed, with attention to identifying signs of rodent activity, locating entry points, and recognizing conditions that support infestation. A key component of the webinar will be the introduction to Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies where Janet Hurley, ACE, MPA, Senior Extension Program Specialist – IPM at Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, will emphasize the importance of using multiple tactics—such as exclusion, sanitation, monitoring, trapping, and targeted rodenticide applications—for long-term control and prevention. The discussion will also address the proper use, and common misuse, of rodenticides along with considerations related to safety and regulatory compliance.
Through this comprehensive exploration, the session offers a practical foundation for addressing one of the most adaptable and challenging pests in modern pest management.

2:00pm ET
For decades, rodent management has relied on the same old formula—bait, traps, and routine technician visits. But despite enormous investments from global cities and industries, rodents continue to thrive, wreaking havoc on infrastructure, utilities, food systems, and supply chains. With billions in damages each year and traditional methods falling short, the pest control industry faces a critical turning point. The old tools aren’t keeping pace with the scale of the challenge.
Now, a new generation of monitoring technology is rewriting the playbook. By collecting real-time data, identifying behavioral patterns, and using AI to forecast risks, pest control professionals can move from reactive extermination to proactive prevention. These innovations don’t just reduce infestations—they save time, cut costs, and support sustainability goals.
In this forward-looking webinar, Michael Moran, CMO and Chief Risk & Sustainability Officer, and Courtney Carace, Owner and COO of Pest-End, will guide participants through how digital tools and data-driven insights are transforming the industry and giving professionals the upper hand in a battle that has raged for centuries.

Recent Webinar: De-escalation and Conflict Resolution for Environmental & Public Health Professionals: Building Skills for Safe and Effective Community Engagement
Summary: As public health officials, conflict is an inevitable component of the work we do. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the United States saw an increase in harassment and threatening behaviors towards public health officials. This in turn has led people to leave critical positions, creating vulnerability within public health systems. Improving public health workers' abilities to address these conflicts and recognizing when the conflict is no longer safe is essential to ensuring public health laws are upheld without risking harm to the employee.
