Summary:
Educational and training materials for Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in mosquito control will be developed by Extension Specialists in Florida and Georgia. The educational tools will demonstrate techniques available for mosquito control that do not rely on traditional spraying for adult mosquitoes. The final products will be: 1) a training video targeted to mosquito control employees and 2) a "how-to" guide for homeowners.
The training video will demonstrate field and laboratory techniques in mosquito control based on IPM principles. The target audience includes new mosquito control programs, new employees in mosquito control agencies, and existing mosquito control programs that have not incorporated IPM into their control program. The concepts and techniques will be applicable for all states in the Southern Region of the U. S. The video will be distributed to. County Cooperative Extension offices in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina, and designated county, city, and town governments involved in mosquito control.
A "how-to" guide for mosquito-proofing homes, humans, and pets will be developed for use by the general public. This colorful, easy-to-read handbook will provide essential information for personal protection from mosquito bites that is often missing from the one-page fact sheets that are currently available.
After completion of the video and guide book, a multi-state in-service training will be conducted for County Cooperative Extension agents in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina to introduce the materials and provide training for their use by County Agents.
Objectives: The final products will be: 1) a training video targeted to mosquito control employees and 2) a "how-to" guide for homeowners. |
