Attend the upcoming mosquito webinar to learn how to find and prevent these guys (mosquito larvae and pupae) in your backyard.

If you’ve never participated in a webinar (seminar on the Web), two good opportunities are coming up shortly.  This Friday, June 7, the Don’t Bug Me Webinar Series is hosting Dr. Dini Miller to explain how to get rid of bed bugs.  Dini, an entomology professor at Virginia Tech University, is one of the top field researchers with bed bugs.  She’s always entertaining, so this opportunity is not to be missed if you have an interest in bed bugs.  If you miss the program, the Webinar Series homepage keeps recordings of the session for later viewing.

The second opportunity, on June 13, involves me giving a presentation on mosquito prevention and management.  We’ll be covering basic mosquito biology, some basic approaches to mosquito prevention and control around the home, and the latest on safe and effective repellents. This webinar is being put on by the eXtension Urban Integrated Pest Management Community of Practice. To register, simply go to http://learn.extension.org/events/1095 click on “Follow this Event” and sign in via FACEBOOK, TWITTER, GOOGLE or eXtension.

Webinars are an increasingly popular way to interact with famous (and not-so-famous) people and experts on a variety of topics without the hassle and expense of travel.  So turn on your CPU, kick back and participate in a webinar this month!
