The Rundown on Rodents

PCT’s Virtual Rodent Conference will be held Wednesday, Dec. 15. Hear from rodent control experts Dr. Bobby Corrigan, Claudia Riegel and Efrain Velasco.


Rodent control is one of the pest control industry’s most dynamic market segments, with innovative new technologies, increased regulatory activity and cutting-edge rodent research now the norm rather than the exception. Even amidst a global pandemic, rodent control and public health continue to generate headlines, with rodent activity increasing in many urban areas due to factors such as growing urbanization, aging infrastructure, poor sanitation practices and restaurant closures.

A significant amount of innovation is occurring in the marketplace, including new and improved rodenticide formulations, the introduction of IoT-based rodent monitoring systems and advancements in trapping technology.

If you are thinking about expanding your rodent control service offerings or learning more about new opportunities in the marketplace, tune in to PCT’s Virtual Rodent Conference, featuring a lineup of leading rodent experts, on Wednesday, Dec. 15, from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. EST. CLICK HERE to register.
