Target Specialty Products, a service provider of pest and turf and ornamental solutions in the United States and Canada, will hold a 1-hour webinar on Thursday, July  30, at 1:30-2:30 p.m. Eastern. As part of its Business Growth Webinar Series of 2020, the topic is “Tried & True Tips for Tackling Tough to Kill Pests.”

Bayer Environmental Science has partnered with Target for the webinar. Joe Barile, BCE, is the technical service lead for Bayer’s Environmental Science Division’s Pest Management & Public Health Business Group. He will be the guest speaker.

His presentation will help pest management professionals with pests that have developed a reputation for being tough to control — such as spiders, scorpions and bed bugs. He will share best practices in managing these pests.

PMPs can register for the webinar free of charge here. Attendees are invited to ask questions at the conclusion of the webinar.

Barile holds a degree in entomology from the University of Massachusetts. He has been involved in urban and public health pest management since 1979, holding positions with major integrated pest management (IPM) product manufacturers, in public mosquito control, as a university extension entomologist, as a pest control technician and as the technical director of a multi-branch pest control firm.

In his position at Bayer, Barile is responsible for providing technical and training support to the internal Bayer staff and externally to customers such as PMPs, public vector control agencies and food safety specialists in the United States and Canada.

Barile has been a Board Certified Entomologist (BCE) since 1986, and is a member of the Entomological Society of America, the American Mosquito Control Association and the Grain Elevator and Protection Society. He also holds an appointment as a commissioner for the Bristol County (Mass.) Mosquito Control Project.
