The webinar will consist of a series of presentations by leading scientists on a range of stimulating urban pest topics, with an opportunity for a questions and answers session with the speakers.
It will take place on March 9, at 10 a.m. (EST), and will last for no more than three hours. For those who are unable to attend the live event, recordings of the presentations will also be available for viewing later. Full details of the program and the registration process will be posted and regularly updated on the ICUP website at https://www.icup.org.uk.
