SILENCING THE STING: SCORPION CONTROL STRATEGIES AND CHALLENGES
This one-hour course, led by John Agnew, PhD candidate from
New Mexico State University, explores advanced strategies
and emerging challenges in scorpion control, with a focus
on integrated pest management (IPM). Participants will gain
insight into the biology and behavior of scorpions -
particularly the Arizona Bark Scorpion - and understand
their medical significance. The course examines effective
detection, exclusion, sanitation, and insecticide
strategies, including research-backed methods like Slick
Barrier applications and synergist dusts. It also addresses
misconceptions around biological controls and highlights
new developments in repellents and pesticide resistance.
This training is ideal for pest professionals working in
the desert Southwest who seek reliable, science-driven
solutions to scorpion infestations.
