Labels and How to Use Them - Imagine this: You arrive at a customer’s home. They’re frustrated — spiders have taken over their home, and they want them gone yesterday. You open your toolbox, ready to help. But before you even touch a sprayer, there’s one tool you must use first — the pesticide label. This presentation is designed for pest control professionals to build confidence in reading, interpreting, and following pesticide labels.

It's an informal roundtable where pest control professionals come together to tackle hot topics, swap real-world solutions, and learn from each other's wins and challenges. Just like a hive, we grow when everyone brings their best—and that's how we build a thriving, high-performing pest management community in Florida.
