It is time to out-smart the critters!
Dr. Paul Curtis, Cornell University, Natural Resources & Environment - Learn the behavior and control of deer, groundhogs, raccoons, turkey, geese, and crows. Dr. Curtis will cover problems in the field, in crop storages, and around barns and facilities.
"If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle." - Sun Tzu
Dr. Matt Frye, NYS IPM Specialist - Learn the behavior of different rodent species; how to inspect and evaluate a rodent problem; types of traps and how to use them; short & long-term reductions strategies.
