Pest Scene Investigation: "CSI" Program for Youth
This youth program teaches about IPM through "CSI" techniques. By presenting live insects, insect displays, and investigative and pest control tools, students learn about how pests are "criminals," the evidence they leave behind, and what tools can be used to find them and control them. They also learn about the "crime scene," or the conducive conditions that can lead to pests infesting a home or school.
