[wordpress] On today’s edition, we go deep in demystifying integrated pest management. For starters, today’s guest Janet Hurley (ACE, MPA Extension Program@Texas A&M AgriLife Extension) gives us a definitive view of IPM’s holistic nature. We discuss integrated pest management as a strategy that relies on accurate identification and scientific knowledge of target pests, pest infestation, reliable monitoring methods to assess pest presence, preventative measures to limit pest problems, and thresholds to determine when corrective control measures are needed. Within the scope of IPM, whenever it is economical and practical, multiple control tactics can be used to achieve best control of pests. These tactics may possibly include, but are not limited to, the judicious use of pesticides. Among other topics discussed, we get into biological assessment, anaphylactic shock, the evolving language of IPM. One of today's takeaways is that there is no legal definition for IPM. Not even the EPA has one. Tune in! Supp

On today's edition of Living the Wildlife, Stephen deals with the issue of lying. "People forget that if you are going to be in business for a long time, sooner or later those lies are going to be caught out because it's very difficult to be a good liar. Because to be a good liar you have to remember what the truth is, what you told a lie about and you have to remember who you said it to. That's a lot of information to keep in your head at the same time. That's how a lot of people, when they're being interviewed by the police, get caught out. Because it's very difficult to maintain a lie for an extended period of time. You have to remember so many different things. It's so much easier just to believe the truth." Stephen M.

Gas prices doubling. Product prices going up. Inflation rate outpacing 3% . Our techs deserve raises.

It's ok to lose a few if they won't appreciate the quality of service we provide. On today's edition, we get into the issue of raising prices.

The industry people who write IPM laws can't actually define it. On today's edition, we educate people on what IPM really means as opposed to 'spray and pray'. Traditional IPM is based on a pyramid structure that works from bottom to top. These controls range from sanitation protocols, through mechanical means, biology and finally pesticides. Conventional methods focus on trapping and killing. IPM, however, is situational and assessment based. It involves pest life cycles, pest-environment interaction, pest biology and often include exclusion services to proof properties against rodents.

On today's edition, some hard facts about the cost of real SEO. Real SEO will run you $2000 or $3000 a month. SEO that produces calls. This is the matrix that you have got to measure against. It's either going to produce calls or it's going to produce a form being filled out. You need to be looking at KPIs. You can't go to the bank with an SEO report and tell your lenders and all the people that you owe money, "but look how great we're ranking on all these new keywords". It either produces leads or it doesn't. SEO is slow; it's like barbecue. This idea that for $500 a month on SEO you're going to rank on the first page of Google in a top 100 market is totally ludicrous. #marketing​ #SEO​ #smallbusiness​ Support Us On Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Pestgeekpodcast​ Web Site: https://pestgeekpodcast.com/category/...​ Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/pestg...​ Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/pestgeekpodc...​ Twitter: https://twitter.com/pestgeekpodcast​ Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/

How do we manage dealing with adversity? Entrepreneurship is highly glamorized but the reality is much different. On today’s edition, we discuss John 13:16​. "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." Peace is directly linked to one’s relationship to Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit. We can experience peace as Christ has overcome the world. #pestcontroltraining​ #biblestudy​ #pestcontrol​ Support Us On Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Pestgeekpodcast​ Web Site: https://pestgeekpodcast.com/category/...​ Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/pestg...​ Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/pestgeekpodc...​ Twitter: https://twitter.com/pestgeekpodcast​ Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/franklin-...​ Linked In Business Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/pest...​ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pestgeekpod...​ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/pestgeekpod...​ #pests​
