Upcoming QA Virtual Conference Takes a Look at Pest Control

As long as humans have been farming, producing, processing and storing food, they have had to deal with pests able to wreak havoc on that food. Pest control has, of course, evolved significantly over time. Even now, new technologies are being developed for pest detection, prevention and elimination — particularly related to rodents and stored product insects. To provide a fundamental understanding of today’s technologies, their benefits for proactive and preventive pest control and their applications with respect to today’s global standards and regulations, QA is bringing together an array of speakers for its upcoming virtual conference, New Technologies in Food Plant Pest Control. If you’re considering installation of an electronic monitoring system or other pest control technology — or just want to learn more — you’ll want to attend QA’s New Technologies in Food Plant Pest Control Virtual Conference Tuesday, April 19.

Speakers include:

• Dr. James Campbell, supervisory research entomologist at the Department of Agriculture
• Kristie Grzywinski, technical director at the Safe Quality Food Institute
• Janet Hurley, extension program specialist III at Texas A&M Agrilife Extension Service

The event is sponsored by Bell Laboratories, ActiveSense and Woodstream.
