of information for this manual, the EPA manual Urban Integrated Pest Management, from which most of the information on structure-infesting and invading pests, and vertebrates was taken We also acknowledge the technical assistance of Mel Poplar, Program Manager for the Michigan Department of Agriculture’s (MDA) Insect and Rodent Management and John Haslem, Pest Management Supervisor at Michigan State University With their help, we were able to adapt the pest information from the EPA manual so that it had greater relevance to the pest situation in Michigan Thanks also to Julie Stachecki Johanningsmeier for arranging the initial review of the EPA manual and for obtaining permission to use Truman’s Scientific Guide to Pest Control Operations Equipment information in Chapter was improved substantially through the use of Truman’s Scientific Guide to Pest Control Operations (fifth edition), Purdue University/Advantsar Communications Project, 1997 The Guide was also the main source of information for Chapter 4, Pest Management in Food-handling and Other Specialized Facilities We appreciate the publisher’s permission to use portions of this book.1 In addition, we acknowledge the University of Florida for the use of several illustrations from the manual General Household Pest Control, Applicator Training Manual, University of Florida, 1994, Philip Koehler and

certified commercial applicator in Category 7A, General Pest Management This manual is intended for use in combination with the Pesticide Applicator Core Training Manual (Extension Bulletin E-2195), available through the Michigan State University Bulletin Office However, this manual would also be useful to anyone interested in learning more about general management of structure-infesting pests Category 7A—General Pest Management—covers the management and control of pests in homes, businesses, office buildings, hospitals, health care facilities, storage areas, industrial plants, schools and other structures It discusses control and management of insects, other arthropods (such as spiders and ticks), and vertebrate pests (such as mice and rats) that may become problems inside buildings The chapters contain basic scientific information as well as guidelines for practical solutions to pest control problems The manual is divided into four sections: • Section I—General Pest Management Information— covers general pest management and control including legalities, equipment use, and basic methods of pest control • Section II—Structure-infesting Pests—covers insects that commonly live inside buidings • Section III—Invading Pests—covers insects that invade buildings from outside habitats • Section IV—Rodents and Other Vertebrate Pests— covers vertebrate animals such as mice, rats, and raccoons that can become pests of structures General Pest Management The Category 7A certification exam will be based on information found in this booklet Each chapter begins with a set of learning objectives that will help you focus on what you should get out of each chapter The table of contents for each section of the manual is provided to help you identify important topics and understand how they relate to one another through the organization of headings and subheadings As you prepare for the exam, read each chapter and answer the review questions located at the end These questions are not on the certification exam They are provided to help you prepare for the exam Questions on the exam will pertain directly to the learning objectives The appendices and glossary, including an answer key (Appendix A), at the end of this manual provide supplemental information that will help you understand the topics covered in the chapters Terms throughout the manual text that are bold and italicized can also be found in the glossary This certification manual benefits the applicator and the general public By learning how to handle pesticides correctly, applicators will be able to protect themselves, others, and the environment from pesticide misuse For more specific information on how to become a certified applicator in Michigan, refer to the beginning of the core manual (E-2195) or the Michigan Department of Agriculture’s web site at: http:\\www.MDA.State.MI.US iii Introduction iv General Pest Management GENERAL PEST MANAGEMENT A Guide for Commercial
